Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw deck the walls with gore in this violent, knowingly absurd and self-consciously Christmassy London-set spy thriller.
The six-part Netflix series from Joe Barton (Giri/Haji, The Lazarus Project) plays tongue-in cheek with familiar tropes and archetypes, from Knightley’s kick-ass, covert-operative mom to Whishaw’s troubled hitman to Sarah Lancashire’s imperious spymistress. The stars trade dry apercus with each other and crunchy blows with foes in dynamic action sequences.
