Julia Howe<p>I’ve taken advantage of a cold and frosty weekend to binge A Spy Among Friends on the new ITVX. I’m a fan of Cold War spy dramas and love Ben Macintyre’s books. It’s a OK adaptation with a stellar cast though not a patch on the book which is able to explore the themes of friendship and betrayal much more effectively. </p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ColdWarSpies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColdWarSpies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ASpyAmongFriends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ASpyAmongFriends</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/BenMacintyre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BenMacintyre</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/BookAdaptations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookAdaptations</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://m.imdb.com/title/tt15565872/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">m.imdb.com/title/tt15565872/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
