OK, here goes, I am going against the prevailing tide.

With respect to those people that actually do spy work, the Brits found out females were quite effective in WWII simply because no one ever expected a woman to do such work. I learned this on some BBC stuff regarding WWII history. I believe the Nazi’s and Soviets took advantage of this too.

Now I can realistically see a woman do clandestine work within her physical limitations. However Hollywood has little 100 pound hotties throwing around 300 lb men.

My point is, if this show is properly done, it might be good. However we all know political correctness will prevail and the movie will suck accordingly.

There are spy movies and there are spy movies. James Bond is its own genre, shaken not stirred... if you please. It is not about British Secret Service or even saving the world. Without the male boulevardier the franchise is nothing.
