Really? I guess the smoothness of his introduction was what put me off at first. It was a little too smooth. Tom fell apart pretty quickly and poof here's his replacement. Zoe and Danny didn't seem to have much as far as reservations about him either.

I think Tom started falling apart after Season 2's Apocalypse episode, so his disintegration didn't seem hurried to me. As for Adam, the reason he was brought in was much more plausible than many lazy shows would have bothered with. He wasn't just a "new guy" that showed up because they needed a ratings boost. If MI-5 was indeed compromised (as it appeared when Tom was framed), it makes sense to pull in someone from outside MI-5. Realistic? Probably not, but much more plausible than a lesser show would have done.
