Netflix fans are raving about The Little Drummer Girl, an “addictive” spy thriller that has just landed on the streaming platform. Originally aired on the BBC in 2018, the limited series is based on John le Carré’s 1983 novel and stars Florence Pugh alongside Alexander Skarsgård.
The story follows Charlie, a left-wing actress played by Pugh, who becomes embroiled in a real-life espionage operation while on holiday in Greece. The psychological drama is described as a slow-burn, tense 1970s spy tale that keeps viewers questioning what is real.
Luke Ecclestone, known as Eccy Reviews on TikTok, warned his followers: “Do not start this show unless you’re ready to binge-watch the whole entire thing.” He praised the series for its manipulation and emotional depth, adding: “You’re going to fall in love with this show.”
Social media users have echoed his enthusiasm, with one calling it a “boss show” and another noting they are “watching it now.” The series also garnered praise for the original 1984 film starring Diane Keaton, though many viewers are discovering the miniseries for the first time on Netflix.
