Revealing the inner-workings of intelligence-gathering, and the high-risk stakes placed on protecting one's country, the show dispels the glamourized fantasy adventures of secret agents. Much like the real life of a spy, the smallest, most seemingly-fruitless piece of information could mean the difference between the security of a nation and its downfall. This is a show which demands that its viewers listen carefully to every conversation and utterance. There's no denying the fact that the BBC's 1979 television adaptation of John le Carré's novel 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' is a difficult and challenging series, but fans of the novel and of le Carré's work in general should be more than thrilled to see the densely complex story brought to life with terrific detail and authenticity.
