London Spy (SE1-EP4)

'London Spy' is the story of a chance romance between two men from very different worlds, one from the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service, the other from a world of clubbing and youthful excess. Danny (Ben Whishaw) – gregarious, hedonistic, romantic and adrift, falls for the anti-social enigmatic and brilliant Alex (Edward Holcroft). Just as the two of them realize that they're perfect for each other, Alex disappears. Danny, utterly ill-equipped to take on the complex and codified world of British espionage, must decide whether he's prepared to fight for the truth. Season 1, Episode 4 Danny is confronted with a side of Alex's life that seems to undermine the very foundation of their relationship. As he wonders whether to give up his private investigation into his lover's gruesome death, he realises a vital clue has been overlooked, but the consequences of continuing to fight for justice are more terrible than he could possibly have imagined. Tom Rob Smith's thriller, starring Ben Whishaw, Edward Holcroft and Jim Broadbent, with Adrian Lester, Harriet Walter and Samantha Spiro. IMDb Rating: 7.4 / 10
