Good but rushed ending and plot armor for Pine's allies

I enjoyed this overall but after spending six hours watching it , it was wrapped up way too quickly in about 10 minutes.

Also, I thought it was a bit of cheat to have plot armor for all of Pine's allies I thought sure something would happen to one of them but nothing did and it lowered the stakes, they had success too easily.

And the ending got a bit too silly, with the guy getting called to pick the package while she was hiding and a pregnant woman shooting guys.

and a pregnant woman shooting guys.

That is what I found to be the most preposterous part of the whole series. I realize that Olivia Colman was pregnant in real life so the writers wrote the pregnancy into the show but unfortunately it made it absurd that a pregnant woman would be traveling to Spain, Egypt etc. I also found it preposterous that Geoffrey Dromgoole would have his goons physically assault Angela Burr's husband instead of her. If anything a pregnant woman would be in greater danger of being physically assaulted from the likes of Dromgoole.
