Entertainment Reviews:
It starts slow, and a bit confusing for those not familiar with the novels, but builds to intensity, creating a taut, sinister spy story for grown-ups.

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is a wonderfully stylised piece that accepts the importance of visual aesthetics without losing any substance in terms of plot or narrative action.

From top to toe this is one of the best crafted, best acted, most tautly presented thrillers I've seen in a really long time.

[With] interrogations, emotionally fraught encounters between people with secrets, lengthy dialogue-free cat-and-mouse chases, and the like....The miniseries takes its time, attempting to get across the workaday nature of espionage...

Rating: 3.2/5 --
Inherently a tale of intrigue, Alfredson may have created one of the most introverted spy thrillers ever filmed.

Product Description:
Based on a novel by spy writer John Le Carre, TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY remains one of the most acclaimed British mini-series of all time. Alec Guinness turns in a superlative performance as George Smiley, a former spy who was forcibly retired after an internal scandal in the British Secret Intelligence Service. When it's discovered that a Russian spy has infiltrated the organization's highest levels, Smiley is brought back into service to covertly spy on his former colleagues and root out the double agent. This gripping tale of Cold War espionage was followed by the sequel SMILEY'S PEOPLE.
