Oldman grows into his name, and only gets better with each passing year like a vintage wine.
Give him a decent script with plenty of pregnant pauses for a glare or three and let his acting chops do the rest. He's become to the spy thriller as Gielgud was to Hamlet ..made for each other!
Kristin Scott Thomas..is cast well as his politicking ladder climbing spymaster, who brings her own gravitas, ie. Beyond the twinset & pearls..lies a cold calculating etc .. And you've got to be doing something right to get one Sir Mick Jagger to co-write and sing the shows theme song!
Season three halfway point..they may have slightly overdone Oldman's unwashed look, as it's now like he sleeps on a park bench at night before staggering into the 'spy office'.. but still a riveting watch..!
