A Spy Among Friends is an MGM+ limited series based on true events between friends that were part of MI6. Set in 1963 England, Nicholas Elliott played by Damien Lewis who learns his best friend, partner, colleague Kim Philby who is played by Guy Pearce betrayed his country to provide the Russian Empire names of British spies for over 20 years. The chemistry between the gentlemen seemed more than just being friends maybe lovers. The storyline was intriguing much like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and less like Mission Impossible. Most of the characters were actual real life individuals except for Lily Thomas who was played by Anna Maxwell Martin. Director Nick Murphy put together a beautiful piece of time that was slow in the beginning and intriguing by the end. It was good mini series to watch once.
