For fans of Hugh Laurie and folks who like the books by John le Carré this is a great 6 part tv mini series. Laurie is the perfect villian and the cinematography is spectacular. Olivia Colman who starred in Broadchurch is another strong character that I like. Possibly the best tv I have seen in a long while. If it weren't for British actors and actresses there would be nothing good for us Americans to watch.

Yes, we've watched the first three episodes and will be watching another one in a few minutes. My wife taped the series.
Having said that, I've read the book twice. It's been years but is it me? This mini series seems to be nothing like the book.

We watched it, but it was sometime ago over here

Watched it when it was broadcast in the UK. I thought it started well but got sillier as it went on.

The acting was good, but I kept expecting Hugh Laurie to burst into some Bertie Wooster, which would have livened up the whole thing.

I expected Rowan Atkinson and Tony Robinson to pop up any minute.

I watched it and thought it a very good series, coincidently Tom Hiddleston's naked backside was discussed in great detail by Victoria Coren in Heresy this week.

Nothing to do with hugh laurie...but take a look at Peaky Blinders.Bumnote.

I watched it and enjoyed it. Tom's backside was an added bonus.

We watched it when it was broadcast here a couple of months ago. I enjoyed it, even though on first viewing it wasn't really my thing ..a little violent for me!

I recorded it and haven't got around to watching it yet. My bank holiday weekend has been ruined by a stinking summer cold - might try and salvage it tomorrow and start to watch it - the comment about Tom's backside has brightened my evening!

Sorry to hear you have a stinking cold, Ann... I hope it clears up soon.

I do hope you mean in that in the sense of a distillery.

Well.... Ok I lied... Haven't made any moonshine yet, but in the past my Ex and I did make cider from windfall apples that local farmers allowed us to collect. I still have all the equipment, though the apple press had to be returned.. Still got a few vats of the cider as well. Bit of a dream of mine since watching Sutton Popcorn and his "last run of likker"

Thanks to @BUMNOTE I'm now into Peaky Blinders (you British and your names 😉). Is there any other British series that you folks can recommend.

 

[Jeanette]

I quite enjoyed Home fires Home Fires (UK TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sounds a bit girly but hubby watched it too and he likes Peaky Blinders but I couldn't get into that 🙂

There have been 3 series of "Line of Duty" which IMHO shows that the BBC really knows how to present "police" drama, hope they do some more, and I'm a Peaky Blinder fan as well.
