‘Betrayal’: Netflix’s paranoid gift for Christmas

Responsible for the careful attack, Black (Olga Kurylenko), a (former) agent of the Russian foreign intelligence service who shares a past with our hero and comes to collect debts Lawrence didn’t even know existed. With her new authorization, her ex-lover will be able to give her the necessary files to find out how and why five people close to her died in Baku (Azerbaijan’s capital) fifteen years ago.

The third corner of the triangle is Maddy (Oona Chaplin), Lawrence’s second wife and former army captain, a curious woman matched only by her ability to empathize. She truly feels her stepchildren as her own, Ella (Beau Gadsdon) and Callum (samuel the leaker), who enthusiastically accepted the demands of their father’s new assignment on different levels; Only a boy would find it interesting to go around with an armed escort.

Many people orbit around these characters, as well as various institutions, but revealing other details of an ever-changing plot would be a real betrayal. Suffice it to say that, as with all good spy fiction, neither the characters nor the audience should trust anyone or anything. Maybe not even himself.

Spielberg Screenplay

The creation and production of ‘betrayal’ Playwright Matt Charman was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay (along with the Coen brothers) for Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies.This relaxed approach to the history of James B. Donovan (tom hanks), an insurance lawyer who negotiates the release of CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers in exchange for Rudolf Abel (Mark Rylance), a Soviet spy he defends in court.

As in this shadow le carre and the brain puzzles are long, but as Charman explained to the media, he also wanted to “get closer to how Americans usually handle this issue.” So the brain is combined with the muscular and emotional aspects of the ‘Bourne saga’. Emotional above all else: Much of the series takes place behind closed doors, in the privacy of a family torn by major threats and wrapped in a paranoid and sickly climate.

Traces of the ‘Americans’

Some of the plot twists may be a little illogical, but the main actors manage to base the growing illusion on emotional reality. It’s a complete mystery that Charlie Cox isn’t a big star. We already knew Kurylenko’s capacity for both action and drama: his career was ‘Quantum of consolation’, bond seriesto the lament of a romantic writer (Terence Malick) as ‘with curiosity’.

Blending espionage thriller with family drama, It could reclaim TV shows like ‘Treason’, ‘Alias’ and above all ‘The Americans’ as a cult.: the personal is hopelessly mixed with the professional, or even more worrying is the secret. During its first two episodes, a slightly less urgent (but not less) version of its first season could also be considered. ’24’. Without achieving the status of these classics, really considering washing these days in stylized anxiety is offered as an option. Pay attention to the director’s work louise hooper (end of “The Witcher” or “Sandman”), capable of hypnotizing with A Michael Mann-style London night or some level sequence shots.
