One more of
the excellent MI5 spy series created by the BBC. It appears that this
one ran only for one season. There were weak spots in parts of the
plot, but the last two discs were very good.From other Reviewers;
Tense, fast-paced, and rich in atmosphere, The Game is a gripping spy drama with more than one kind of intelligence.
The deeply creepy idea of shadowy terrorists seeking to sneak warheads onto enemy soil resonates with American viewers, which lends menace to this already heart-stopping thrilling show, easily the equal of the early seasons of Homeland or cable drama The Americans. The pacing is quick, the motives murky, the characterizations deft. We know everything we need to know about one agent when she sizes up an undercover colleague as a spy because he hadn't thought to crack the spine of the novel he was pretending to read
BBC America’s new six-episode spy miniseries “The Game” combines elements from both types of fiction, with an emphasis on the former. Set in the drab London of the Cold War, it pits very human British spies against a potentially disastrous Soviet plot.
