TWO-dimensional? ONE-dimensional is closer.

It's another lost opportunity. They could've done so much more with her character, e.g. have her betraying and double-crossing Lucas at the end, and running off with Albany and Vaughan to the Chinese. Instead we have a doe-eyed pained-expressioned cardboard cut-out, none of whose scenes with RA showed any passion from her side. Only his scene when she died showed any emotion, and by then it was too late.

That's good if Laila's better in other programs. Doesn't say much for Spooks.

Now that would have been an interesting twist! It's a shame Maya was such a weak character, there was a lot of potential to develop her into something more interesting (if not at all plausible!).
