Sequel to the phenomenal Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1979) where the legend of one Karla is further developed. On the one hand, a bit superfluous because the previous series was actually completely 'finished' in my view, but with Sir Alex Guiness, the modest (very British) narrative style and an interesting story with ditto dialogues you really can't help it then enjoy yourself for six hours.

That is how they do (did) it. Thick 4.0*.

Not as strong as its predecessor, but well worth it. Quietly filmed and acted in the well-known hypothermic English way. They are all typical talk episodes, but the mood and atmosphere is always a bit menacing and indefinable.

Episode 5 stands out due to the (dominant) presence of Barry Foster as the new head of MI6.
