6/10
Dark, confusing, revisionist.
2 September 2023
As others have said, it's too dark. I was hitting my monitors brightness button, but it was already at max.

Constantly swapping eras never makes for easy following in a complex, dense spy thriller plot, and because of this it was difficult to feel any sense of trepidation or intrigue.

Olivia Coleman's apparent understudy, Anna Maxwell Martin, played an anachronistic and historically revisionist character that is an insult to those who suffered the class, race and gender discrimination of the times.

Everything else, including Damien Lewis, Guy Pearce, and the costumes and sets, kept me watching.
