New Spy Show Stars “Downton”‘s Mary
I certainly plan to watch “Restless” when it premieres tonight, about which THR says: ‘A stellar cast including “Downton Abbey’s” Michelle Dockery (pictured), perfect pacing and a fresh take on the British spy genre make this Sundance Channel mini great. Having already scored with its two scripted ventures — “Carlos” and “Appropriate Adult” — Sundance Channel keeps its streak going with “Restless,” a superb two-part miniseries about British spies in the early 1940s before America’s entry into World War II. With an excellent cast and a stirring story (it frays a bit near the end, though not enough to do any damage), “Restless” is based on the book by British novelist William Boyd (who also wrote the teleplay) and has enough intrigue, deceit, twists and lingering suspicions to lure you into its web.’
