It took more than 20 years to get this terrific LeCarre novel to the screen, but mostly they did a good job, even if they had to update it and throw in some bang-bang for extra effect.
Tim Hiddleston sort of grew on me as Jonathan Pine, but Hugh Laurie never quite achieved the menace that Dickie Roper always carried under that insouciant manner of his. My pick for the Roper character was always Sean Bean.
