Exciting stuff.

The second episode was very enjoyable, it's a hugely enjoyable, if complex story, but I love where it's heading, and what they're doing with it. Bravo BBC for giving us something so different. I'll admit it took me a second viewing to digest exactly what's going on, as it is heavy. Alexander Skarsgard is absolutely terrific I have to say, he's loaded with charisma, he's intriguing and so watchable, Florence Pugh also. It's not going to be what the causal viewer wants, but I'm hooked. 8/10

Episode 1.2

The Little Drummer Girl is not an easy book to adapt. Some things that might work on the page may not come across plausible on the screen.

Charlie has been watched by Kurtz for a long time and he thinks Mossad can work on her and get her to infiltrate a Palestinian terrorist cell. Kurtz has checked on Charlie's background to demolished her family background as a tissue of lies.

Charlie met Salim/Michel who is terrorist Khalil's younger brother in England several times when raising awareness for the Palestinian cause. Now Salim has been captured by Mossad, Becker will take his place.

Charlie knows Becker looks nothing like Salim but she has to pretend to be Salim's lover. By casting a Scandinavian actor, you really are going to be hard pressed that he could pass as Israeli or Palestinian!

Ah......nope

During the 1970s to 1980s because there was no "High Tech" like instant image digital cameras and video, only the Polaroid camera, everybody relied on accurate physical intelligence, especially physical descriptions of people.

In this case everybody's Intelligence Agencies and Agents including Terrorist Intelligence Cells would have reported that somebody over 6 feet tall was impersonating the Palestinian Terrorist "Michael", Saleem. The average height of "Middle Easterners" is under 6 feet.

Because Osama Bin Laden was about 6 feet 5 inches tall we knew that he was not involved with Us 1980 to 1999 CIA Operation Cyclone Afghanistan nor Pakistan as our CIA created Muhajeen, as he (OBL) would have been easily detected by the U.S.S.R. Spetsnaz and KGB during our Insurgency War of hiding among the Afghans Civilians. His (OBL) head would have been sticking up in a crowd. We also knew because he (OBL) was not in our computer databases of everybody we trained during CIA Operation Cyclone the first time we used laptop computers to record all information of those we Trained, Armed, Lead. He was at Yemen creating his Al Quada.

If detected the U.S.S.R. would have "Carpet Bombed" and used Mustard Gas for Miles. In the case of "Michael" the PLO Terrorists would have sent a "Hit Squad" to eliminate him and everybody seen with him.

Writer needs to figure this out.

Accurate depiction of Interrogation, Use of Psychotropic drugs instead of torture.

Accuracy 4 Height of "Michael" Israelis would not be that careless. Accuracy 5 Interrogation Entertainment 5
