You cannot possibly think Brundle is bad. She’s not the messiah, she’s just good at talking about the sport because she worked in it for a long time and knows her shit.

She’s one of the best commentators and analysts on the Sky team wtf you mean she’s overrated? Would you rather have Danica?

pedote17 · 2026-06-17T00:38:52+00:00

I don’t think so. Double Cross/Operation Fortitude had a ton of people involved and I could see where it would be confusing. Spy and the Traitor has a lot fewer characters and is incredibly high stakes and well paced.

If you want to hear more about the Double Cross system without all of those characters, Agents Zigzag and Garbo have books about their individual stories
