My wife and I watched this 6 part mini series drama over the past few days streamed via Amazon Prime. It was a terrific and exciting film to watch filled with suspense and drama. Based on the book by John LeCarre. Executive producers were Hugh Laurie and John LeCarre amongst a few others. This is definitely worth watching. Even though I thought Hugh Laurie was terrific in his role I was dumbfounded to see that he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor which IMO clearly should have gone to John Lithgow for his portrayal of Prime Minister Winston Churchill in The Crown. I listed the awards which the show won to indicate that it is indeed very good
