Highly recommended viewing.
A Spy Among Friends.
Excellent TV/Streaming choice. A throwback to the old school of spy thrillers. You actually have to listen and pay attention. Tells the story of British spy Kim Philby. Damian Lewis, Guy Pearce, and Anna Maxwell Martin give excellent performances. Well done top to bottom.
Available on MGM+ There’s a 5-day trial that should allow you to view the 6 episodes via Prime and other services that offer the trial.

@jozevolf Totally agree!
Generally, I'm not usually interested in spy material. And haven't seen the new series.
But this book was described as approaching the “Cambridge Five” history in a new light, interpreting the entire issue through the lens of a certain kind of British friendship. The intense, decades-long friendship between Nicholas Elliott and Kim Philby. It was a real page-turner, wondering how and when Philby is finally undone, and outed as a 30-year mole for the Soviets.
Amazing that someone can be a certain person inside, and so completely hide their real self from their closest friends. For 30 years.
There were flashes of the real Philby that shone through on occasion, but that was pretty rare.
Philby’s betrayal badly impacted the lives and careers of some of his closest friends and co-workers. Some of them went on destructive and fruitless mole-hunts in their own agencies, inflicting major damage on innocent people on both sides of the ocean.
Can you really know someone? No matter how long you’ve known them? Who can you trust? Can you really trust anyone?
Life is built on trust at the most basic level, but if you mistrust everyone and everything, how do you maintain your sanity? Maybe in the long run, some of the players in this book didn’t maintain theirs.
Is it just me or does Damian Lewis only have one single facial expression?

I rushed to say #TokyoVice was a more watchable series than #ASpyAmongFriends based on watching part I of each. But the graphs gradually overlapped: the more you watch Tokyo, the more it becomes less; the more you watch A Spy the better it becomes.
The problem largely stems from Philby being too familiar. Having read so much over the years about him, even about Harry St. John Philby, his father, you feel another Philby documentary or drama will be dull. This builds slowly but isn't.
