The Pine Gap series only has six episodes in total, so you might be fooled into thinking that you can binge-watch the entire show in one sitting. But here’s the thing: the plot is pretty complicated and absolutely requires you to focus. A few seconds away from the screen could mean that you might miss out on a key point in the show. So be prepared to take it one episode at a time.

On the whole, the show is pretty good. The show is based in Alice Springs, Australia, and is about the intelligence facility called Pine Gap. This is a collaborative effort between the Americans and the Australians. The facility is used to track all satellites, gather relevant intel, and plan drone strikes on an average day.

But the problem here is that the two teams are not being good to each other, especially their leaders. Their alliance is under more pressure with each passing day, and this pressure has trickled down to Pine Gap as well. Pine Gap review is headed by an American executive and an Australian counterpart. The former reports to his head of state in Washington DC while the latter reports to Canberra. The show starts off with the mysterious launch of a Vampire Missile that hits a small passenger plane, after which everyone starts scrambling to find out who was behind this launch and why.

Apparently, the Australian team already has the answer but attempts to conceal the truth from the Americans out of fear that it will damage their alliance. However, Americans don’t really buy their excuses and launch a secret investigation. Their technician, Moses Dreyfus, also identifies malware that exists on Pine Gap’s servers and reports it to Ethan James, the station director. Both come to the realization that this could only have been the work of an insider.

As they begin their investigation, the American team is able to shortlist six potential candidates who could have been behind the breach. They begin the hunt for the culprit so that this person can be stopped before further classified information is released. The catch here is that each of these six analysts has a possible reason for sabotaging the facility, so it becomes harder to narrow the list down further.

This quick Pine Gap review concludes by saying this series is deeply layered and is very unconventional for its genre. There are secrets all around and all relationships have an underlying element of suspicion. What adds to this further is that the town desperately requires a financial boost and there’s a multi-billion-dollar deal going on with the Chinese, so everyone is worthy of suspicion. Plus, the ending is also not conclusive, and I can bet you will have more questions to ask. If you are someone who enjoys a political thriller centered more on interpersonal relationships rather than bullets and fights, then this is the show for you.
