Based on a real story about upper crust British guys who were spying for the Soviet Union .Didn't know anything about it but read up after the first show. Amazing .The news about the spies broke in the early 1960's around the time of the Profumo scandal which I thanks to a movie I did know about . Those British upper class guys can be bad boys
Has Guy Pearce who I have scene before along with an actress named Anna Maxwell Martin playing a nerd with a razor sharp mind who I love .
British tv shows are better with female heroes then American tv . I love both lead characters in WPC56 and Aunt Polly & Ada Thorne in PEAKY BLINDERS . VERA is a cult show in the USA .
I love the sound of this Moi, I must find it - love anything to do with spies I agree, we do some good drama series, Dr Foster, Killing Eve, Gentlemen Jack all great female leads to name just a few. Peaky Blinders was good too, great female characters in that one too.
There is a lot to be said for being part of a group, and the support and friendship that is gained from this.
A SPY AMONG FRIENDS is great .When ( if ) I ever go home am going to subscribe to BritBox that shows British shows .
VERA is very big in the USA .I think the audience who loved DOWNTON ABBEY moved over & it gets baby boomers .Maybe another built in audience, MURDER SHE WROTE with staring a mature British woman was a huge hit in it's day.
I love Vera .... as any of you who have watched it will know, she's doesn't exactly exude sartorial elegance, but I realised a while back that she and I have a very similar hat and the same scarf - what on earth does that say about me!!!!
Watched A Spy Among Friends, enjoyed it - lost the plot a bit because it bobs around a bit time-wise, but it was very interesting.
Last night watched the first in the new (and final) series of Succession, we love it - all the characters are horrible and trying to out-do each other .... rumour has it that it's based on the Murdoch empire.
Haven't heard of Succession either, another one to look out for. We've just watched 3 series back to back of "The Boys" that was really good. Others recently watched have been Peripherals, timeless, Stranger things and AO
