I love Smiley's People as well as the BBC version of the Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It's one of the smartest spy genre movies ever.
I'd definitely think about watching this. But, maybe:
"This makes me want to quit watching. I’m not sure I have the stomach to know a storyline and its characters are going to be abandoned. That’s one of the two main problems with TV as a medium: that it might end too soon or that it might go on for too long."
BTW, I really liked how this article was written.
- icebraining 9y agoThat comment is interesting, because about a century ago it could be said about literature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_(literature) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_(literature)
- hcayless 9y agoSandbaggers was a great show. Watched it on PBS as a kid. The ending is absolutely gutting. I hadn't realized it was supposed to be a cliffhanger. Emotionally, it works very well.
- rgacote 9y agoThere's also an episode where they get back the lead's (Marston's) love interest from East Germany. Without providing any spoiler's, the ending of that episode left younger me in shock for days. Still one of the most powerful (fiction) TV moments I've ever seen. I think it was "Special Relationship" season ending in Series 1. But don't watch just that one. Watch them all.
