There is a level of depth, and complexity in this drama, that I found utterly irresistible, it's definitely not a drama for everyone, anyone wanting instant action will be disappointed, everything here is measured, almost drip fed, and as such the story was allowed to build up towards its fabulous conclusion, and the characters also developed incredibly well.
The character development was so good, that you were left wondering which way they were going to turn, and only at the last minute were you let in to Le Carre's secret.
I find it wonderful that The BBC still sees Le Carre's work, nice also, to see it on BBC1, it was certainly well advertised.
The production values were incredible, the camerawork, filming, location etc all first rate. The acting was superb, Florence Pugh and Alexander Skarsgård both terrific in particular.
As I say, some may find it slow, but it's deliberately slow, the conclusion is worth the slightly slower middle episodes.
Loved it, 9/10
