AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

agincourt-25562 I watched this on DVD from the library on a punt.Not long in i thought it was crap but hoped it would improve..Then i checked out some reviews to see if i was on my own but found a lot of favorable reviews so watched on hoping for something.Unfortunately nothing happened and i gave up,Don't bother

michaelmouse1 What an exceptional thriller this is. Clearly this is a star vehicle for Ben Wishaw, who drives this series in a breathtaking performance. Arguably one of the best television series produced so far, you'd be a hard case not to fall under its spell. The first two episodes indicate something clearly exceptional is at play here...the acting is stunning, the production values top notch and the weaving of a web-like story is so subtle you're trapped before you know it. The twists and turns will keep you guessing until the very end - nothing is what it seems. Or is it? It's so refreshing to see Gay main characters being treated respectfully and with gravitas, as they deserve like any other character. I only say this because their sexuality is intrinsic to the plot. If you're the slightest bit homophobic, this is not for you. It's no more explicit than the usual run of the mill films but the rarity of seeing two attractive men engaging in naked intimacy will be a celebration for some, a revelation for others and, unfortunately for conservatives, confronting. But if you tune out you're missing a real gem here. It's a thriller for everyone. It's deliciously slow in unfolding and goes down paths you won't expect. Like all series there are the odd stretches of credulity but, for the most part, the story-line is absolutely believable. It's nuanced, highly thrilling, sad, shocking and, ultimately very rewarding. Highly recommended! A stunner!

WVfilmfem The acting is good, but this is really not so much a spy thriller as a gay love story. If this is what you are looking for, you'll like it, including the gay sex scenes. The entertainment industry foists gratuitous sex, both hetero and homo on the viewing public. I, for one, will not watch. My previous review was deleted...for saying this? It seems NF has editors of reviews who aspire to their own agenda.

agathorsmith I went into this open minded, as I am not usually a seeker of spy story lines. The characters are intriguing and developed from the offset, as an optimistic normie with issues and a genius virgin, the first episode is beautiful and warming to watch. The espionage-esque parts are few but creative and thrilling, the reveals get gritty, especially when delving into the protagonists background.It is fantastic to see great gay representation, London Spy features LGBT+ people but does not dwell on queer culture in any way. This makes it refreshing for viewers, as queer characters are not thrown in as an after thought or without reason.The motivation of retribution for a lost loved one makes for a great theme, this is a dark drama and another great modern BBC creation. Fully recommend!
