Secret Service (ITV Drama)

[cuprabob]

Starts airing tonight at 9pm but all 5 episodes are on ItvX.

Stars Gemma Arterton, Rafe Spall and Roger Allan.

Just finished watching the 1st episode and it is rather good, in my opinion.

I enjoyed episode 1 so much I fell into episode two straight away.

It’s not often I’m engaged with an itv drama. Thumbs up (so far).

Watching in ITV. X and up to episode 4, enjoyed it much better than I thought I would.

I read the book a few years back so some of it is coming back to me. I did think some of the acting was rather lame, and whilst it was a good read on screen it does come across as somewhat farfetched.

Not the sort of thing I tend to watch, particularly on ITV. But if the luscious Gemma is in it I'm prepared to give it a go.

Soon as I've finished The Cage anyway.

For whatever reason, after watching the 1st episode it didn't make me want to binge it. Half Man is quite good but they're only releasing an episode each Friday

This is seriously good!

If it's finished after 5 episodes then I'd expect a Season 2. From memory the book goes all the way to outing the spy.

Very good program. The spy gets outed in episode 5.

I thought it was pretty good and very watchable.

As Tom Bradby has written three novels with Kate Henderson as the main character, I reckon there'll be two more series made in the future.

Was pretty decent, very watchable

More style than substance. The whole concept was simply too far-fetched and the characters stiff stereotypes.

It did not help that I clocked her husband in Episode 2.
