Charlie Cox stars as an MI6 chief in the new 5-episode Netflix spy series Treason, a thriller from showrunner Matt Charman
like me, this series has everything — nefarious Russian spooks, sumptuous European visuals, a protagonist with a murky past, and much more. Moreover, if it feels a little reminiscent of a twist-filled, John le Carre-style narrative, that’s exactly what showrunner Matt Charman was going for.The cast includes Cox as Adam Lawrence, Olga Kurylenko as Russian spy Kara Yerzov, and Tracy Ifeachor as CIA operative Dede.
notes, “it’s Chaplin, Kurylenko, and Ifeachor’s constantly-swaying allegiances that’ll keep you locked in.”From Netflix’s official synopsis: “Trained and groomed by MI6, Adam Lawrence’s career seems set. But when the past catches up with him in the form of Kara, a Russian spy with whom he shares a complicated past, he is forced to question everything and everyone in his life. A triangular relationship forms between Kara, Adam, and his wife, Maddy; three people who are trying to expose each other’s secrets, navigate political and diplomatic relationships, whilst hanging onto their personal lives, and those they love most.
“For me, the original focus of it was ‘How can I find a story that has a big, twisty plot but also has something deeply human going on?’ So it’s a combination of hopefully what we do really well in this country with John Le Carré and compelling psychological portraits of human beings while at the same time coupling that with something that feels alive and urgent and happening in the moment. That’s what I was really reaching for.
