London Spy (2015)

That was an excellent one.

Absolutely the worst movie.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This series could have been so good but like just about everything I watch now has porn like sex? Why? Can writers not write anymore without nudity and pure sex , who wants to watch that. I don't know straight or homosexual sexual on all tv shows it Nauseating. I would just like to watch a good movie or show series without that in it why not the morning after looking at things people do have imagination still please give us a chance to use them. The storyline of this is very good the homosexual Sex I could very much do without.

Whatever happened to the well-made plot? This series just chucks one gasp-gasp episode on top of another, with no attempt even to suggest they might be relevant to each other. Sure, there's a story line of sorts, and it's all 'explained', clearly hoping that the viewer is so gobsmacked that s/he has forgotten about all the loose plot threads dangling all over the show. That said, some good performances from actors who shouldn't be wasting their talents on this hogwash. But I suppose times are hard for the likes of Jim Broadbent and Charlotte Rampling. But Ben Whishaw could surely land something better than this.

I'll watch almost anything British. It often takes a while for the story and characters evolve so I know to be patient and just enjoy the journey. The journey here, after a boring 30 minutes or so, led to two men having sex. The boring continued through the episode and the next until I decided there just wasn't anything else. If that's what you like in a movie, you'll like this. Judging from the absolutely glowing, gushing reviews, there must be a wide audience for boring gay porn.

Thriller, suspense etc are the kind of things I like and for the same reason, I chose to watch London Spy. To my surprise, it turned out to be a love story and a very good one, thanks to Ben Whishaw. Some reviews have a strong feeling against the sex scene, I actually found it beautiful. The scene did not disgust me at all. By the way, I am a 60+ senior citizen, Asian, female, grew up in Taiwan, not a gay (but with an open mind to accept all things).I recognize all the actors from other places except Edward Holcroft (Alex). They all are perfect for their parts. The good acting and the good plots make it a very good show. Yes, episode 1 is slow, I kept thinking who the spy is? It gets more intense as I go along. To me, it is a love story laced with a spy story, a wonderful bonus every which way I look at it! You won't disappoint. I promise you.
