Masterpiece: Worricker: Turks & Caicos (2014)

Bill Nighy returns as the London spy version of Clint Eastwood in this second installment of the Johnny Worricker series from Masterpiece Contemporary. Worricker is always pensive, taciturn, and civilized. Christopher Walken is a CIA agent who tries to pull Worricker into a scheme that is the antithesis of the corruption case he is pursuing against the British prime minister while on the run. Helena Bonham Carter is an ex-spy and his former love who aids and abets Worricker before she joins him on the run. I enjoyed the performers in some of the smallest acting roles here. See this second episode by all means if you have seen the first Worricker episode (Page Eight); if you have not seen the first, I recommend that you do; and then refer again to the first part of this sentence. Enjoy! 4 stars. (8-25-2017)
