As one critic said: Thoroughly enjoyable and quality drama . . . . It's a television series that wont let you down. Piece of good, bright entertainment. Four episodes.
PS (I have used the reviews from IMDb to support this write-up).
If you are interested in spy stories, this series is for you. It's a BBC television mini series about spy drama of pre-World War II tension. There have been lots of lots of world war movies, but this one starts before the beginning of the war where spies from different region of Europe collide each other. So it is a cat-mouse game with many dangerous path ahead. Cinematography was very good but definitely not like James Bond movie with lots of strong action sequences. It has all the ingredients of a good novel like romance, friends, betrayal, family and threats that a man as a spy who can go through in reality.
The series is based on the book by Alan Frust which is set in October 1937 in the capital of Poland, Warsaw. A French spy Jean Francois Mercier is assigned to look the situation on the German border. As his first report confirms something big is getting ready by the Hitler, which creates diplomatic tension between the neighboring countries especially Poland. So he hires some people to do inside jobs and that put many in danger. The locations change when characters start to explore in the cities between Warsaw, Paris and Berlin. Between all this he meets a young French woman and instantly fall in love with her. When the country near to be at war, what are their plans and how it can be executed is the rest which unfolds in an exceptional manner.
