Off to a slow start. Lots of noob mistakes.


Slow slow slow

I dont know what is going on

I dont know who is who and i am not being told

Lots of arbitrary movement with no context

This has echoes of tinker taylor....



Not impressed thus far

It’s very good. And you’re right. It is slow. That’s why they give you the first episode free. Also, it is not linear and one can easily get mixed up. You do tho get interested in the spy thing. Who is lying and who is telling the truth. The Brits (and the Australian) really know how to write and act a scene. It may not be binge-y but it sticks with you long after many of the Netflix series immediately fade away.

The stage scene with “Are you lonesome tonight” is very poignant and melancholic.
