Reviews (2)
So far a little disappointing. Top-notch in terms of acting. Even with the little room he is given, Laurie dominates the series, Tom Hiddleston is every inch a pro. But the femme fatale is not captivating enough and so the central theme of unexpected love for a stranger is unconvincing. The first episode seems like a rather slow prolog, which is usually right for a le Carré, but it doesn’t have the necessary power. I look forward to when the hinted at conflict begins, but nothing too impressive so far.

The first episode grabbed my attention right away, proving that a story can be compelling without nonstop action. Hugh Laurie shines as the main antagonist, and having first seen him in Blackadder, he’s never disappointed me since.
