"A dying man's final act of testimony"
This miniseries dramatizes the 2006 poisoning of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko in London, and the frantic detective work that followed as he lay dying, determined to name his killers before it was too late. It moves between hospital bed and interrogation room, procedural and personal tragedy. David Tennant anchors it with a quietly devastating performance, and the tone stays grounded and somber rather than thriller-slick. It is less about spycraft twists than about watching ordinary institutions and a dying man's willpower collide with an unaccountable state.
David Tennant's harrowing, restrained performance as a man building a case against his own murderers.
you want spy-thriller excitement rather than a slow, grief-heavy procedural.
