This show was spectacular. Some of the best 6 hours of TV i've seen in a long time. And despite him not playing an action-hero type of spy, it goes a long way toward establishing credibility for Hiddleston as Bond. Hugh Laurie plays a wonderfully charming villain, and Tom Hollander is pure fun. The scenery is wonderful, and in typical spy yarn fashion, the adventure spans Cairo - Egypt, the Swiss Alps, various places in England, the Majorca islands in Spain, and Instanbul, Turkey.
As a side point, Majorca is now on my bucket list for vacations.
