This mini series is very well written , very well cast , and very well played all round . If you're wanting 100% yes minister or alternatively 100% historical accuracy it's probably not the series for you . It sort of falls somewhere in the middle and is extremely entertaining , ranging from cringeworthy "did he do that " moments to out and out laughter. There are some brilliant momemts supported by excellent quips and one liners " you are the worst spy .........ever " . Some series about characters of this era fall into the trap of showing the lead as either an anti hero , deserved of sympathy or a complete criminal . Again this falls in the middle and leave you to draw your own conclusions . I've only knocked it down from 10 to 9 because I feel there's some elements in the life of Stonehouse they could have made more of and would have fitted superbly into that emotional roller coaster. ( No spoilers lol ) . However that does not stop it being totally watchable , entertaining and extremely good TV .
