...Iain Glen's role was just not convincing for me and Ruth Wilson deserves an award for her portrayal, which must have been very difficult at times, given her connection. Truth in this case is really stranger than fiction, and if even half the scenarios and events shown are factually correct, the Wilson family will probably never know the whole story behind Alexander's life and intrigues. Very well done and a good pace, despite a few irritants for me personally. There were a few occasions when the background music became too intrusive and the religious aspects were something I best not comment on, but clearly are important factors in all this. As we know by now, there was deep infiltration by foreign powers during and after the 2nd world war, and the various govt agencies are still loath to admit to any shortcomings. The betrayals, double and more lives their agent lived has resulted in so much heartache and tragedy that it's a testament to the offspring that they have come through this mess so well and intact. Kudos for a great story and especially to Ruth whose acting is superb.
