Narrative
Helen embarks on a passionate affair with a man who has no idea what her secret identity is
Caught in the crosshairs when her lover falls victim to London’s dangerous underworld, Helen’s employer calls on Sam to protect her. Bingo, the owner of the guitar shop where Sam buys his guns, is played by Rat Scabies, a member of the classic punk band The Damned.
It starts out great
Featured in Graham Norton I like: Cher/Keira Knightley/Michael Fassbender/Josh Brolin/Jalen Ngonda (2024). It’s one of those run-of-the-mill entertainments where you can’t really fault the acting and the production values are practically impeccable.
But John Le Carre isn’t
You think you’re about to be sucked in and seduced by a complex spy thriller. Instead, you soon realize it’s neither serious nor funny.
As is so often the case these days, the problem is the paucity of story
It has quirky characters, and indeed characters with all the charm and conversational wit you’d expect from psychopaths. They may be related to Eve from Killing Eve , but they’re poor cousins and don’t stack up very well on the psychopath DNA inheritance scale.
Sadly disappointing, it could have been so good
It’s a cartoonish travesty of a spy thriller with a plot that relies on a thin plot and frequent action scenes to fill in the gaps. No need to waste time scrolling endlessly — here’s the full lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
