What to Know

Critics Consensus

Spy City may not have the intricate intelligence of the best espionage series, but an excellent Dominic Cooper and sleek style gives this caper panache.

3/5
Spy City is a sort of compromise between a smart le Carré dramatisation and a knockabout Bond caper. It works because it means you can keep up with all the twists and it's more involving than a succession of car chases and overacting evil masterminds. Go to Full Review

Any fan of those authors will want more character-based nuance scattered among the clandestine meetings, predictable double-crosses and Wikipedia-deep exploration of the Cold War. Go to Full Review

The cinematography is elegant, and the production design accurate. It's a well-made show, if not necessarily a well-written show. Go to Full Review
Glenn Garvin Reason Online 04/16/2021
William Boyd, the creator and main screenwriter of Spy City, skillfully recreates the miasma of intelligence treachery of 1961 Berlin without pushing into high-camp James Bond territory. Go to Full Review

CyrEl T @RT44381341 09/10/2024 Fielding Scott, With the rest of the characters ,They are experienced personalities ,charming and, and, and, etc.,,, ⚠ But, why smoking !!! , And if these characters had not appeared without smoking, would that have diminished the strength of the characters in any way!!! I believe that No, , As usual during that Period from the last century (unfortunately) An abundance of the ugly and Dangerous habit " SMOKING" !!! This period Full of Misconceptions about Smoking ! , Concepts that were then (scientifically) CORRECTED and REFINED well later A Special Request from Messrs. Producers and Directors of dramas " specially whose interested in that period " , not to have too Many Smoking Scenes in that way ! ⚠️ And if there is “Any Possibility” to complete the work WITHOUT smoking scenes (and in my humble opinion, I believe it is possible. ), all appreciation and thanks to them Because Some people, specially young one , unfortunately, are Tempted by cinema and drama with Flashy, "attractive" scenes containing Smoking, so they rush to imitate this dangerous thing !!! 🔬* * Scientifically , smoking, in all its forms, is cigar, cigarette, shesha, or even passive smoking! It leads to slow and difficult blood flow - adequately - within the various arteries of the body - and not just the arteries of the heart - as smoking increases the viscosity of the blood, And the benefit of blood to the body's organs is Not Only the delivery of food and oxygen!, but blood also Contains "White Blood Cells", which are responsible for immunity !!! , We can imagine the amount of risks that any organ in the body may face, without a “sufficient degree” of immunity, against - various diseases or against oxidant substances, or the so-called carcinogenic free Radicals , which are present almost “regularly” in the bodies of all people. !!! Of course, this is in addition to the damage resulting from the products of combustion itself, from carbon and otherwise And there are many other harmful effects of smoking that would take a long to explain. * *There are tips 👍✊that have helped others to quit smoking, including: * The Will and desire to train to "hate" smoking or even its appearance! * Keep three things constantly busy, “especially at the beginning of quitting smoking”: "Hands" - "Mouth" - and "Thinking", ; * Hands and mouth, for example: eating green parsley, or rosted seeds (but in reasonable quantities daily according to healthy nutritional advice for each person), or، other means ... * Also “Thinking”: about what things make a person preoccupied with smoking... ** Also, staying away “as much as possible” from people who smoke,...and preferably the opposite, getting closer to people who have quit smoking!... Sorry for length , and Thanks See more andrei d @RT74856639 05/23/2021 Are personajele/actorii nu are altceva See more Read all reviews
