I rather disliked her when I first watched the show 6 years ago. I thought she was just very superficial and couldn't see the attraction and why Tom would end up with her. Upon my re-watch this year I started understanding if not liking her a lot better.

I think her acting and character profile is not all bad

Spoiler: show

especially compared to Sarah Caulfield

but I still don't like how she looks at Tom. The way she lowers her eyes and looks at him so obviously seductively, just doesn't feel natural.

Despite this, I think I'm becoming more and more convinced that she and Tom suit each other

and I start liking that they're together according to was it Harry's diaries or Personnel files?

. What I disliked about her character arch is mostly in S03 so it has no relevance to s02. I think she's believable as a CIA agent with a soft spot for the UK and Tom.
