Mar 13, 2023Gads.... What a flaming bore....... I've seen other movies about Philby with lessor known stars that did a much better, entertaining job..... If you much watch be prepared....
-
Mar 01, 2023fantastic brilliantly conceived acted and directed sophisticated spy story
-
Feb 27, 2023I like it, its slow paced, very good actors, and my wife and i was sad that it stopped... Its a nice break from all the other series
-
Feb 21, 2023An old-fashioned spy drama for thinking adults with attention spans, I loved it.
-
Feb 19, 2023A decent enough spy thriller, all the more interesting as it's based on a true story. Well, partially true…w oak show writer, Alexander Cary, decided to not only invent the character of Lily Thomas, he decided to make her the lead investigator into the Philby investigation. Which makes perfect sense because in the early 60's a woman never would have been in that position. And of course, if you're going to invent a woman to save the day, why not add an interracial marriage spin to the mix for the sake of diverse it e. Sure, that never would have happened back then either, but why worry about accuracy when you've got a certain a genda to promote?
-
Feb 01, 2023A great story, brilliantly told! Will follow up with a re-visit to The Spy Who Went Into the Cold (2013)
-
Jan 28, 2023I've watched a lot of films, documentaries and read books on this subject/Cold War and while the acting was good from an excellent cast I couldn't help but feel that there was sympathetic tone towards Elliot in this series who at best was an over educated imbecile who repeated the same mistakes time and again at great cost to his country and colleagues, or at worst was another treacherous scumbag with no ideals or concept of loyalty like Philby himself or Blake, etc etc. Say it as it is….
-
Jan 23, 2023This is a very intriguing story. The British make great drama, which comes across as very realistic and leaves the viewer pondering on the motives of the main characters.
-
Jan 22, 2023Superb ! Lewis and Pearce are perfect and the pitch is damned good till the end
-
Jan 21, 2023sooo boring,i cannot belive all the great coments,you all should watch slow horses,now that is an entaining spy series.
