Peacock's spy drama TheUndeclaredWar is an uneven, occasionally riveting espionage thriller with great performances from SimonPegg and Mark Rylance.
For a show about cutting-edge cyber warfare, there is something charmingly low-rent about The Undeclared War. The new British espionage thriller from writer-director Peter Kosminsky doesn’t look or feel like so many of the ultra-serious, prestige TV productions that have become all too common nowadays.
Over the course of its six episodes, The Undeclared War follows Saara as she attempts to get ahead of the U.K.’s mysterious attackers before they can throw the entire nation into chaos. Along the way, Saara catches the attention of both her GCHQ boss, Danny Patrick , and an assertive NSA agent from the United States named Kathy .
The series’ unyielding focus on Saara’s romantic troubles is particularly baffling considering how genuinely compelling The Undeclared War’s cybersecurity sequences are. Kosminsky constructs many of the series’ GCHQ scenes out of long, handheld camera takes, which follow the organization’s workers through various rooms and halls as they race to try to get on top of the attacks that are being launched against them.
