New six part TV adaptation of Len Deighton's classic spy thriller with the protagonist spy Harry Palmer played so memorably by Michael Caine in the 1965 film.
I liked it, excellent period detailing, a snappy soundtrack, a strong ensemble cast throughout, so stylish and a script as sharp as Harry Palmer's suits. Production values were high and it was really well directed.
Joe Cole vs. Michael Caine - well who was ever going to top Caine? But he put up a good fight and played it well in his own understated way - Lucy Boynton was a revelation and Tom Hollander also excelled. All round a winner and the ending was satisfying and very neatly done.
Congrats to all involved, can see a few Bafta's heading its way..
