Spy/Master (2023)
8/10
A good old-fashioned spy thriller with a historical context
8 March 2024
I had no expectations for this series. Fortunately, I started watching it, because it turned out to be a good spy series in a long time. The series doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't need to. The most important thing is a good script and the execution. This series managed to do both. The script was well written, the characters were mostly believable. The execution was intense. There wasn't much action, which I liked. However, the series held its grip firmly from start to finish. This was due to the good script and direction. The actors performed well. The set and costumes were really well done.

I also appreciated the fact that the series was not unnecessarily prolonged. Six episodes was just the right length for the series. In the last episode it started to get a little unbelievable, but I forgive that because the execution was otherwise good.

I was also a little challenged by the main character's motivations and the relationship of his actions to reality. But maybe that was one of the purposes of the series. The elusiveness of the main character Victor's motives.

Overall, a strong recommendation for this series if you like old-time spy thrillers.
