Gray (2023)
Absorbing and thrilling
Unsatisfactory ending aside, I loved this absorbing and thrilling spy series. It was such a treat to see so many intriguing and varied female roles. I found Patricia Clarkson mesmerising as Gray and the laid back menace of Wendy Crewson's character, Gold, was ever-present.
I took a while to settle into Rupert Everett's role of Tagg but the subtle humour and slow energy added to the suspense.
I've read reviews bemoaning the lack of physical action compared to other thrillers. I enjoyed the lack of physical noisy fight scenes and car chases. Gray killing people with long distance shots while having a calm discussion with Sara was chilling and more thrilling than a fist fight.
Let's hope that a second series is forthcoming. There is so much potential here.
