Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
tlwhitecdn This series could have been so good but like just about everything I watch now has porn like sex? Why? Can writers not write anymore without nudity and pure sex , who wants to watch that. I don't know straight or homosexual sexual on all tv shows it Nauseating. I would just like to watch a good movie or show series without that in it why not the morning after looking at things people do have imagination still please give us a chance to use them. The storyline of this is very good the homosexual Sex I could very much do without.
ts-folke The near 5-hour mini began well with dreamy, boozy overtones enveloping an awakening London The haze descends upon our 2 lovers and the origins of their chance meet, Alistair aiding the woefully hungover and besotted Danny, assembling the pieces from a rant-induced phone toss. Danny at the "I should be living better than this" realization, clouded with the sleazy memories of the night before, begging and pleading for normalcy and love. Alas the sizzled and liquid love eyes cast upon him from the stranger (or so he imagines). Fast forward past the 4 hours of subsequent drama (including Alistair's death, Danny's reconnect with his original sugar daddy played by the puffy Harry Potter demon Jim Broadbent, odd encounters with Danny's parents, laughing including a tracyotimied father, an bizarre rendezvous in a upper-high class private gay men's club, a cheap and gaudy geisha performer, wisdom from the straight and exotic female roommate, Boogie Nights-inspired scene with a gay crack cocaine addicted sadist, etc. etc.) Fast forward to the closing scene with Rampling and Danny driving off into the sunset and cue the laughter.
agathorsmith I went into this open minded, as I am not usually a seeker of spy story lines. The characters are intriguing and developed from the offset, as an optimistic normie with issues and a genius virgin, the first episode is beautiful and warming to watch. The espionage-esque parts are few but creative and thrilling, the reveals get gritty, especially when delving into the protagonists background.It is fantastic to see great gay representation, London Spy features LGBT+ people but does not dwell on queer culture in any way. This makes it refreshing for viewers, as queer characters are not thrown in as an after thought or without reason.The motivation of retribution for a lost loved one makes for a great theme, this is a dark drama and another great modern BBC creation. Fully recommend!
gcarpiceci-73268 As an old and picky consumer of espionage stories, I was attracted to this series by its title, besides the excellent reviews. After finding myself wasting 5 hours of my life, let me just cry: "don't you dare call this a spy story!" For the review of such bummer, I propose the technique of the "onion peeling", i.e. you remove layer after layer and see what is left at the core. Well, the first layer is the photography, the visuals, the imagery: very sleek indeed; next layer, soundtrack: very cool; then the layer of acting performances: pretty good, as the strong cast was promising. So we have removed all the layers supposed to wrap the core, i.e. the story, the plot, the idea.....ooops, there's nothing less....or, the little that is there is so implausible, so absurd that you would prefer the total absence. So in summary, a lot of window dressing, not much more....
