Ever since I came to know Ben Whishaw was acting in a new spy series in the beeb, I have been impatiently waiting to see the drama. And I can't say I waited for nothing. London Spy is not your typical spy series. It's an intense and beautiful drama concentrating on a man's love and his struggle to make sense out of his lover's death. Add on the spy element and all the lies and conspiracies , and it makes a brilliant, brilliant watch. Ben Whishaw, as expected , is magical. He makes his character extremely likable and one can't help connecting to his hopes and romanticism. But what surprised me was Edward Holcroft. I had seen him before in Kingsmen and he had done justice to his cocky and arrogant character. Here, though, he's painfully beautiful. Not just in the physical sense, but also in his awkwardness. His minimal expressions somehow manage to bring out repression and suffocation. Another Brit to watch out for, I suppose. Don't give this one a miss. 3 more episodes to go and I am pretty sure I am not going to be disappointed.
