I really liked the show's first 2 episodes and till some extent episode 3 also was quite intriguing. However, since episode 4 you'll find loosing interest in the show, maybe not enough to leave the series then and there but certainly, you wont be fascinated to watch every second of the show. The ending was simple and was hurried into. I think there was no proper closure between the characters. The acting was also not out of the world and can be said as just justifying what role demanded and not over and above.
As a suggestion, if you watch alot of tv shows and take it quite seriously, dont waste your time on this show.

Sorry but the series not only laughably bad, the critics have agreed it is as well. but it has an insanely high rating here in IMDB only because of shilled fake reviews.
You can tell since the only activity of the account giving it a 10, 9 or 8 is upvoting and shill reviewing series.
Poor acting, abysmal writing, laughable paranoid plot.
A very good series imo and a cross between Foyle's War and Bridge Of Spies in atmosphere. Convoluted plot and very loosely based on Britain and her allies' history around the time of the partition of Palestine post WW2. Not to be taken too literally which is why some reviewers have criticised the series.
Good cast and acting and thoroughly enjoyable if you like a good spy story. John Le Carré would not have been ashamed of this.

I found this very entertaining but was irritated by the constant suggestion that America won the war. Also the suggestion that the OSS had to step in at the end of the war to save Britain from Soviet penetration is ridiculous. Britain in fact helped the US set up the CIA out of the bones of the OSS after the war. The US was very much junior to Britain in the matter of intelligence and code breaking during the war.
This is not historically accurate; for example, reference is made to the traitor Kim Philby being a member of MI-5, he was in fact MI-6 (Secret Intelligence Service). This is an important distinction and not merely pedantic. It's like saying the FBI and the CIA are the same thing
I've watched all 6 episodes and I wasn't bored at all. In fact I hope there's a second series.

- TriviaAlthough heavily modified, the series bears close resemblance in the overall arch of an infiltrated government official, the web of double crosses concerning military industry, its highly nationalistic tone and even title, to Verräter (1936), a German propaganda film produced by the UFA under Joseph Goebbels. The movie is now considered (despite its original use) a thriller masterpiece, and became the highest grossing film in Europe, winning several awards.
- GoofsCompletely destroyed by bombing in May 1941, the House of Commons at the Palace of Westminster was not used again until rebuilding was completed in 1950. The Commons used the House of Lords chamber instead, so the parliamentary scenes should show red seating, not green.
