Dec 1, 2018Fine adaptation that truly captures le Carre's ambiguity towards espionage. The star power is replaced by brilliant acting.

Dec 16, 2018Great story and acting. This is a fine adaptation of the book,. Highly recommended.

Nov 20, 2018The first "night" (the first 2.5 hours or so) have been highly intriguing. It's not quite as tough to follow as most John Le Carre stories are. Certainly better than Tinker Tailor.... that put me to sleep instantly. The young female lead is really good, as is Eric Northman.

It is Pugh's show , as she proves to be one finest talents of her generation. -

Superior to the film in every way, even if it still has a few shortcomings.

Come for the sumptuous style, stay for the Syriana-ish espionage quagmire. [30 Nov 2018, p.46]

It’s a lavishly produced, intelligent, tasteful mixed bag, more interesting to think about than to watch.
