Struggled through he first episode still not sure what it is all about seems very disjointed and difficult to follow. Will be interesting to read what the critics think of it tomorrow. The story was described as thrilling. So far not lived up to its promise
I didn’t bother, I didn’t fancy it. Caught up on Stranger instead.
@Dee Back to White Collar
Stranger is brilliant – not seen Drummer Girl yet but I love Le Carre
Boring isn’t it .
@Denise very and confusing
I lasted less than 10 minutes. Not sure why I didn’t like it, but my interest vanished almost right away.
Seems very slow to me.
Ditto ?
I’m so bored with it. Plus it feels like we’re watching it in the wrong season given they’re all lounging on a beach!
Oh no, set it to record, do I try it to see what it’s like or not bother ?
@Neil You need to see for yourself
do see for yourself..
Didn’t fancy it?
Same ….. So boring
yes only watched it half way, boring
Oh my God! The book was amazing!!!
I really enjoyed the
book, TTS, was read long ago and recently..
I want to read the book first- it should arrive any day now
I almost gave up on the book. Not one of Le Carre’s best, imp.
Us too.
I thought it would be good as it’s made by the same people as the night manager….not sure yet but will give the whole episode.
Thought it was me just couldn’t get a grip of it
Me too . Didnt even make 50 pages?
Watched the whole episode wasn’t impressed.
Me too my book more interesting
The tv series doesnt air in canada until nov19th. I loved the Night Manager so have high expectations for LDGirl
I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much.
@Denise ok
Twas a little odd
Could not get into it gave up after 20 minutes .

Oh dear thats disappointing!
Oh dear. I’ve recorded it.
Me too.
And me
I gave up on the book, but I might have a look at the TV show.
Just watched it & I thought it was quite good, the first episode is the build up hopefully ?
An hour of my life I can never get back
I couldn’t get into it either!!
I think that you either love or hate LeCarre.
Does anyone remember the film with Klaus kin ski and Dianne Keaton.
Yes – wasn’t Sean Connery in it, too, or have I misremembered that?
@Teresa yes. I liked the film.
@Keith I don’t think so. Actors were mostly Israelis or Egyptian looking. It was a brill double cross either way:-)
Ah, just looked it up … it was The Russia House that Sean was in. Got my Le Carre’s confused.
I can’t plow though a LeCarre. He goes into too much detail.
A little confusing and disjointed!
I watched it didn’t think was too bad may take a while to get going.
Now someone mentioned strangers have stuck with it all the way through so drawn out could have been condensed into three episodes.
I fell asleep….
TOO complicated
I’ve recorded. I’m often out of step with what everyone else thinks so maybe I will rave about it 🙂
Let me know your thoughts When you do watch it
I thought it was promising
I’m glad I didn’t bother to watch it ?
Me too
I have it recorded so let’s see x
I quite liked it 🙂
Have it taped on Sky Planner but now don’t know if I’ll bother ?? Ye all have put me off?
Me too ?
I’m certainly going to give episode 2 a go. Looks promising.
Recorded, but it’s waiting in line behind Bake Off, No Offence, Killing Eve and The Cry. I may never reach it…
Rubbish the cry was good tho?
