I've only found this excellent series in past few months despite it being made in 2013 or so. Excellent acting which makes you care about the characters. I found it on Channel 4 player and I live in the UK. I had previously watched ITV's superb 'A Spy Among Friends ' about Kim Philby which sparked my interest in learning more about Philby and the spying game in general.
One I have if anyone can answer- Why didn't they offer Cuba to Gregory and Martha? Much more appealing and a safe haven even now hey?
Philby was possibly the most successful spy in history though perhaps we have never learned of better spooks whom have never had their cover blown haha.
KGB double agent for 20+ years and headed UK's overseas counter espionage service SIS and MI5.
USA had August Ames even more recently and seems Russian's were far better at spying game.
The former KGB double agent poisoned on Putin's orders in Salisbury several years ago had committed the cardinal sin of continuing to spy for the British after being caught and jailed in Russia and released as part of a spy swap. Ex-spooks are expected to retire from espionage and become history lecturers or grow roses in their garden once they have been exchanged. Waffle now but good audio books on YouTube about CIA and Mossad for example if you are interested.
