Read the book donkey's ago and really enjoyed it.
I hope this a better adaptation than the Night Manager which I thought was a case of style over substance.

Thought it was going to be something uplifting until I read a brief synopsis, oh how wrong was I ffs

Erm .... could it be about a little drummer girl ?
Enjoying episode 1 thus far.

Me too. Michael Shannon is infinitely watchable...as is Alexander Skarsgård.

I enjoyed that, why have Mossad kidnapped the acting girl ?
Promising - Michael Shannon is always very watchable, top actor.

Presumably so she can 'act' as some sort of double agent and get in with the Palestinian brothers then pass info back?

I enjoyed it but felt they were trying for a BAFTA with the cinematography. A little style of substance in places.
Exactly.
Beautiful to look at but, just like The Night Manager, they insist on painting the main characters with a very broad brush and thus they all seem just too larger than life.
Do they think the audience cannot handle a bit of subtlety?
With le Carré I want to be intrigued, not dazzled. In places the first episode looked more like a puff piece for the Greek tourist board than a gritty spy story.
That's a pretty low bar mind.
