The Copenhagen Test is here, and the fans are left on the edge of their seats by the eight-episode show. What started as a thriller turned into something more unsettling after ‘Alexander Hale’ (Simu Liu), a first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst whose life takes a terrifying turn when he discovers his brain has been hacked by unknown forces who can see and hear everything he does. The tale further takes a brutal turn when he’s caught between his own agency and some adversaries and forced to act at all times.
‘Alexander’ works for a covert intelligence watchdog known as The Orphanage, an internal-affairs-style organisation created to monitor and police America’s clandestine agencies. However, he finds himself in turmoil, as a company that largely deals in secrets is to identify compromised missions and potential moles, a mandate that becomes painfully ironic once ‘Alexander’ realises the threat isn’t external, but embedded inside his own mind. However, the question remains: how did we get from this to the ending we got? So, let’s take a look.
The Copenhagen Test: a disturbing end that left us all confused
The Copenhagen Test closes with ‘Alexander’ making one final and extremely risky move to prove he hasn’t flipped on the agency, even after everyone else believes that he has. After learning that a man named ‘Schiff’ is the alleged hacker and intends to kill ‘Alexander’s’ parents if he doesn’t do what he’s asked, our lead turns on his handlers and agrees to lead the alleged hacker to the elusive intelligence leader known as ‘St. George’, in exchange for their lives.
