'A SPY AMONG FRIENDS'
DOMINIC WEST & DAMIAN LEWIS
 |
| Damian Lewis will also executive produce |
A Spy Among Friends follows the defection of notorious British
intelligence officer and KGB double agent, Kim Philby (Dominic West),
through the lens of his complex relationship with MI6 colleague and
close friend, Nicholas Elliott (Damian Lewis). The show examines
espionage through their friendship, the fallout of which affects
East-West relations to this day. Philby was a British
spy who
notoriously defected to the Soviet Union in the 1950s, betraying secrets
to the Russians in the early years of the Cold War. He and Elliott
entered the spy game together, but as they rose through the MI6 ranks,
Philby turned double agent.

'THE LAST KINGDOM'
RENEWED FOR SEASON 5!
In other TV news, as it was expected, Netflix has renewed their ultra popular mediaeval series THE LAST KINGDOM for fifth season,
based again on the books from Bernard Cornwell’s best selling The Saxon Stories saga. Season 5 will be based on the ninth and tenth novels: The Warriors of the Storm and The Flame Bearer. Brand new ten episodes will continue to follow the adventures of Uhtred of Bebbanburg (Alexander Dreymon), a warrior born a Saxon but raised as a Dane, in ninth and tenth century England.
Charged with training King Edward’s first-born son Aethelstan as a warrior, Uhtred’s ambition will have an even higher purpose. But to achieve this destiny, Uhtred will have to face down his greatest enemy and suffer his greatest loss.

I've watched Dominic West in a few movies, I think and... I also think I kinda like him 🙂 Still, not enough for me to actually watch this 🤷♂️
ReplyDeleteHe is always amazing. Loved him last year in Les Miserables.
DeleteMy mama will be happy to hear that more of The Last Kingdom will be coming her way. It is her favorite show and I bet she'll be so sad when there is no more.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth season was a bit disappointing, sadly, it was good, but they keep repeating the same storyline in which Uhtred always loses everything, they really need to turn his luck in the next season, otherwise people will start rioting. I love the show and the cast to bits, but sometimes you get the feeling the writers think we're stupid.
DeleteIt sounds like The Last Kingdom has been a success. I haven't seen that one yet.
ReplyDeleteIt has a huge and very devoted and loving fandom. The cast deserves it, the writers not so much :)
DeleteEvery time I see this picture for The Last Kingdom, I get excited think it's Orlando Bloom. :)
ReplyDeleteDreymon is about hundred times hotter than Orlando :) The series is filled with similar hotness, actually :)
DeleteMaybe I should watch then.. LOL
DeleteYou jolly well should.
