I saw the first two episodes and was just disappointed that there would only be six and then six more. The cast is fantastic and although the dialogue calls for a higher volume to these American ears, it is well written.
The theme of the song
Normally I wouldn’t watch a movie adaptation of a book I’d like to read, but I wanted to see this as soon as it came out and I didn’t know if it was the books. But I will definitely read them later.
When I heard that I thought, “Surely they haven’t caught Mick Jagger”?!
But it is, and the song is cool, with relevant lyrics and thematic elements of the film’s music. I see a few reviews complaining about the “leftist” bias of this piece, but all I see is art imitating life with some stories.
It’s good, very good considering the first two hours
I recommend this piece unless you like fancy spy food.
