Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Lynne A Phillips Although the first few episodes seemed slow-paced to my wife and me, overall, we really enjoyed this series. It gave us some real insight as to how the spy business operates. The brutality of the Russians was particularly memorable along with how bureaucratic the CIA is. The actress who played Sandy Grimes was excellent. She even looked a lot like the real Sandy Grimes. We both wanted to smash the Aldrich Ames character in the face. Highly recommended.

Maria I won't repeat what others already wrote and I won't tell anything about the story as everyone can read all facts on wiki, if interested. This series had me 100%. Well scripted, well played, well filmed. First I was surprised by the "quality" of the pictures but then I realised that even that was meant to portray the 80ies. As I was a teenager in the 80ies I know what the cold war meant. And this story is a well told and real part of it. It may be a bit strange to native speakers that the main parts were played my British actors. For me it was no problem as it is more important to understand every word - and I did. Thanks to the actors for that. Wow! I am really overwhelmed by this mini-series and I am absolutely baffled that it had to be stopped after only 2 episodes on American TV because of a lack of audience. That's a shame. For those who like well told stories and don't need lots of special effects and flying bullets, I can absolutely recommend to watch this 8 episodes. It is worth every minute.

Al Rodbell Not a single article or description of the ninth episode of this series, perhaps because it was never aired on T.V, and is only on Netflix. It is mostly interviews with the actual persons depicted in the series: Sandy Grimes, her husband, Jean,among others, responding to off camera questioner. Then there are extensive segments of Ames being interviewed by Ted Koppel.This final segment is the key to the entire series, as it shows just how accurate the dramatization was. Once they had the smoking gun from the final Russian source and home recordings Ame's conversations with his wife, without knowing that the final episode would be a documentary of the series, I thought it would be created fluff, perhaps an extended trial and marriage issues. I had thought that many scenes were the writers taking liberties, as they seemed so implausible to me, but that last episode confirmed that the dramatization right up to the personalities of the main characters were spot on.There was the touching scene of the the Soviet General that we knew had been betrayed by Ames with his granddaughter, that I thought was such a flourish. In this final episode the actual now-grown woman showed up at the signing of the book this series was based on, "Circle of Treason." We learn that the General, unlike Ames, made his decision not for money, but out of belief that those who controlled the government were destroying his country.This, along with the in depth interview of Ames raises profound issues of the fine line between bravery and treachery that is being asked this day about Ed Snowden - who some claim betrayed his country while others consider a rare patriot. The first eight episodes was a diverting drama, with the ninth it became a rare provocative event.

dpv1954 I just watched the episode where Howard escapes the FBI tail by bailing from the car. I am trying to figure out why they change the location of the Howard's from New Mexico to " Maine !" Why in the heck would the writers change that? If it is based on true story it seems to me part of that story should be the locations of the people in the story. Makes me wonder about other inadequacies. Docudramas (spell?) should stay as close to the truth as possible. I swear Hollywood can be down right stupid. Otherwise I like the show, so far. I really like Ms Wittiker portrayal of Grimes, I have seen her in other shows and noticed her British accent but her she sounds "American". I imagine it is difficult to cover up or change ones accent like she has done. Also why is there a min of ten lines of text needed to post here?
