It starts off really well
Fairytale of New YorkWritten by Jem Finer, Shane MacGowanPerformed by The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl. It’s one of those common entertainments where you can’t really criticize the acting and the production values are pretty much flawless. You think you are about to be absorbed and seduced by a complex spy thriller.
But John Le Carre it is not
Instead you soon realize that it’s neither serious nor funny. As is so often the case these days it’s the paucity of the story that is the problem. It has quirky characters and indeed characters with all the charm and conversational wit one expects of psychopaths.
Sadly disappointing, it could have been really good
They could be related to Eve from Killing Eve but these are poor cousins and don’t really add up well on the scale of DNA psychopath inheritance. It’s a comic book caricature of a spy thriller with a storyline that relies on a thin plot and frequent action scenes to fill the spaces.
