I started watching this show because I noticed that Nicolas Bro is one of the lead actors. I have seen him before in a phenomenal Danish/Swedish production called The Bridge, from 2011. I recommend that show all the time to people in real life, so I gave The Asset a shot.

Four episodes in and this is one of the best TV shows I've seen in the last few years. Gripping storylines, directing on point, fantastic acting and extremely suspenseful. I'm surprised it came from netflix, they usually try to push certain messaging, but hey maybe the world is healing?

Hoping there's a second season because this is TV done extremely well.
