[Captain Peter Blood]

I am totally burned out on the Marvel/DC Comics movies.
I doubt I see Wonder Woman or any other CGI comics movies for awhile. I have about had my fill of The Transformers also.

I just got through watching a six part series on Amazon Prime called “The Game”. It was a British TV production. The best Spy thriller I have seen since the George Smiley series and Len Deighton series, “Game, Set, and Match”.

It was set in 1972 and concerned MI5 trying to stop a KGB plan for England. It was taught, well written, and kept you guessing and on edge till the very end. The series had a great young actor named Tom Hughes who played master spy Joe Lambe and he could be the next James Bond if they wanted to reset with a younger actor.

Now this is the type of genre and imagination missing from Hollywood. Highly recommend it.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have to check it out.

Sounds fascinating, I enjoyed the Len Deighton novels.

I recall watching PBS ~1987 when it broadcast a low-budget BBC serial about MI6. I thought it was outstanding.
