Great listen

I enjoyed listening to this podcast. To learn that there are Russian spies living in other countries is shocking. Everyone needs to listen to this.

Gripping, informative and expertly woven together

I absolutely loved this from start to finish. So many varied voices woven together to build a really rich, informative and human idea of what it must actually be like to be a deep cover spy. As a mum as well, I couldn't help but empathise with the normal work balance struggles despite the totally alien idea of leading a double life as a spy. Just fascinating! Really well written - seamlessly weaving in different perspectives.

Great mix of commentary and facts

It was well scripted and just the right detail level. I enjoyed it. The narration was well paced with some reflection but mostly good sources of info- those real people close to the story.

Addictive bingeworthy series

I came to this as a sceptic with expectations of an OTT spy story. How wrong was I! This is an excellent production with an engaging cast supporting the unfolding story narrated by Rosamund Pike.
