THE MORNING SHOW. Many of us were sceptical at first as some reviews suggested it was a overpriced and clumsy. However, P heard it mentioned on so we thought We’d give it a try.

We were blown away. It's got kahunas. The dialogue is sharp and pacey. Could have easily fallen into being Suits (which is entertaining and fun but this much more substantial) - They tackle a 'really tricky' and emotive subject head (many would say 'do not go there atm) in a nuanced way and they spoke to the audience as if they are adults who can handle complexity and don’t need to chill out in an echo chamber 24/7. Easily could be safe &preachy with the odd lazy scene to appear balanced.

However, it really hit home on many levels and asked multiple questions all at once. We suspect that depending how you tackle this issue you’ll see different things… but like a complex painting. It makes the audience think whilst still managing to have a lightness and load of humour to it.

I can say first hand it’s actually developed several people's opinions much more down the progressive line without demonising the opposing viewpoint.

Nor did it let 'well meaning' people off with poor behaviour or allowing for a culture of poor behaviour. It also asked 'what actually is poor behaviour? A brave question that most publicists would say "Don't even go there... it's not worth it... stick to the party line."

It also addressed accountability and racism, regardless of your identity or gender.

This proves again that if you demonise people you lose them.
That attacking folk with virtue (normally whilst hiding behind a laptop or hashtag) is not an effective way to progress society...

The writing had a barrel load of empathy, hence why the characters are complex along with the situations.

Oh and the acting, directing etc was so good that we didn't even notice it! Not a single poor performance. It serves the writing and the story. The Invisible Actor by

Congrats to . Well done to for being brave. I think any negative reviews are actually missing the point… 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♀️

Beautifully shot, acted and directed. One of my favourite spy films. Almost SIX decades and John le Carré was still writing. This is an underrated master piece. Richard Burton had some screen kahunas.

A true classic. One of the best screenplays I have ever read in this genre. Beat by beat it is superb.

Definitely worth a rewatch in 2021?

Rewatched this classic... definitely in our top 10 movies 🎥 of the 20th century. Still ranks as my favourite . What about you?

The , , performances from the along with some memorable scenes really do it for me.

Intrigued by the different versions of the edit and moments I’d never seen before. The scene where the fries the gangster with a handshake, in front of his mates, is a classic. You?
