The first time I heard they were making a show on Ian Fleming i was pretty excited. But i had some reservations too. Firstly because being a huge Bond fan i didn't want something similar to nor too remote from the Bond movies. It had to be a careful balance between the fantasy world of Bond and the real life of Ian Fleming. Next as it was going to be a mini series it had to be fast paced and concise. Not too brief leaving the spectators wanting more. And to say in all honest opinion i absolutely loved the show! Dominic Cooper and Laura Pulver had the perfect on screen chemistry. Both complemented each other perfectly. The storyline revolved around both the personal and professional life of Fleming. The atmosphere was very real. The war scenes weren't the best CGI has to offer these days but nonetheless excellent enough to keep me glued to the screen. I wouldn't go as far as to call the show perfect, but it's as much near perfection as i had wished it would be. Laura Pulver's character as a strong and composed woman and Fleming's character as the cold hearted playboy spy set ablaze the screen. The performances were brilliant. All in all, shaken not stirred!
