The gang moves to a secret location in the countryside and starts training to be soldiers. But the strain of being on the run begins to take its toll on Jas and Marcus' relationship. At the country house, the gang meets Eliette, a French Canadian radical who inspires Jas. In London, Pence turns to Kenya for help, as the gang becomes more notorious and a rival force tries to steal the case.

I thought the third episode was pretty decent, but I can't help but feel like this series is moving too slowly - we're already halfway through and it seems like things are only just now getting started.

I haven't checked this out yet but I thought it was amusing that the second episode of this series pulled in just 23,000 viewers on Sky Atlantic in the UK!

And this is after Sky spent a fortune co-producing the mini with Showtime IIRC.

Oh, Sky.

Agreed. So much stuff was happening I thought I'd accidentally tuned in to the wrong show.

I hope the last two have as much plot momentum as episode 4 did.

I'm 20 minutes into Episode 3 but I have a real hard time getting into it. I'm not even sure what's going on. Might drop it honestly.

I feel like I missed an episode going from 4 to 5. How did the South African dude get fired? How did everyone (including his wife) find out about his relationship with his informant and the son they had together? I even replayed parts of episode 4 because I figured I missed something, but I couldn't find anything that explained it there either.

Anyway, episode 6 was much better. It ended in a totally unexpected way too - I thought they would all die in a blaze of glory but instead they got away with it!

I feel like they left the story open for a second season, but it's unlikely that we'll get one. And I'm fine with that - what we got works as a one-and-done, even though the pacing was almost unbearably slow and the characterization, along with the plotting, was hard to track at times.

All in all, the show was just alright. I feel like there's a really interesting and vital story to be told about this movement, but Guerrilla isn't it.
