If you learned your closest friend was a spy, would you help him evade justice? That's the looming question in this slow-burn adaptation of Ben Macintyre's nonfiction bestseller about an infamous U.K. traitor. The limited series opens in 1963 with reserved British intelligence man Nicholas Elliott (Damian Lewis) being questioned by no-nonsense Lily Thomas (Anna Maxwell Martin) of the U.K.'s domestic intelligence agency M15. The topic: Elliott's role in the defection of his chum since the '40s, charming Kim Philby (Guy Pearce), who has been outed as a double agent.
Recruited by the Soviets as a university student at Cambridge in 1933, Philby rose to become head of counterespionage for MI6, the foreign intelligence unit that also encompasses the U.K. Which meant he was in charge of rooting out traitors like himself!
