Maybe I was expecting too much, but I waited and waited for some kind of surprise or unexpected moment, which never came out. The story does not look as coming from Le Carre, as it is so simple and straight. Hugh Laurie sometime delivers some good baddie look, but he is not helped by the screenplay which gives him the usual "The world is already a bad place, I am just doing my job" lines to give him some substance. Tom Hollander is the only one delivering a believable, interesting and menacing character. I am sorry for Tom Hiddleston, who delivers a completely uninteresting flat Jonathan Pine, who is so lovable, generous, courageous and good at everything he does, that when the series ends I am not curious at all to see him again.
