Although I agree with many people who criticize the show as not good-looking... But I did catch up to the first season, the scenery is beautiful, the body and mind are happy... The protagonist has a strong halo, Trembling is handsome, Jed is crystal clear, and Uncle House is responsible. But it's Aunt Angela who makes the show plump and authentic, she's brave and resourceful and a true hero.
Since I was full of doubts about Pine's character, I had to read the original book. My thoughts are as follows:
Because LeCarré has a deep understanding of intelligence agencies, the highlight of his works lies in the daily work status of the reality intelligence agency behind the fantastic super special attack. If there is no such behind-the-scenes personnel, who deal and struggle between the office, the leadership and the family, there will be no heroic children who shine in front of the stage. After all, a lone hero like Dousen 007 is just a mythical individual. In reality, most heroes stand up to pressure in their positions, stick to it silently, and work hard in what they think is the right direction.
As a fan girl, I have to say a few (pseudo) fair words: I can't be blamed for this time. Although Pine in "The Night Shift Manager" is the protagonist, and there are a lot of psychological descriptions in the article, it still does not support a reasonable character image. Why do such dangerous work, why are you so obsessed with revenge...
(Instead, I found the answer in the American TV series "Suspect Tracking". Retired agents saw through the shady scenes of political games, but in the end they couldn't return to normal people's lives. Only by re-becoming agents can they show their fists.
In short, compared with LeCarré's masterpiece "Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy", this show is too unintentional...
