I thought this was absolutely wonderful, and was especially impressed by Tom Hiddleston (such a superb, beautiful actor) and Hugh Laurie (brilliant in the 'evil role'). One thing: I did think that a pregnant Olivia Coleman was a bit of an oddity in the series, since I don't find it plausible that a spy would put herself in a massively dangerous situation when heavily pregnant.
The design of the entire thing was beautiful – I don't know where the BBC managed to find the budget to film in such wonderful locations. The initial visuals to each episode are probably the best I've ever seen – so much style and beauty.
Gorgeous, fascinating and different from the ordinary run of thrillers. Looking at something like this makes one realize how much better a lot of TV (like this and the Scandi dramas) is than most of today's churned-out films for the masses.
