John Anderson Wall Street Journal 12/31/2020
The cast is uniformly solid, with standouts including Jessica Grabowsky as the blithely devious Finnish agent Tabe Slioor and Hannu-Pekka Björkman as Helena's spymaster godfather. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

neal r @RT25553340 02/16/2022 A well done, cold war espionage thriller that mixes fact and fiction producing a riveting look into the mid-1950's. There are enough twists and turns to satisfy most John le Carré fans with the KGB, CIA, and a secret Finnish task force evenly matched and trying to impose their own agendas. I've seen both seasons and the rating speaks for itself. See more Read all reviews
