'The Little Drummer Girl': Fans are confused about the flashbacks in Episode 2, but it all adds up

The flashback to the gold watch and the eventual love-making scene are confusing but they are needed to push the story forward.

Fans are baffled by the continuous shift in narrative timeline of 'The Little Drummer Girl' and are now taking to Twitter to voice their doubts about Charlie and Salim's past.

BBC One's adaptation of John Le Carre's 1953 novel by director Chan Park-wook, follows the quest of Mossad agents to track down a notorious terrorist, Khalil, by trapping his brother, Salim. However, in order to do so Mossad agent Marty Kurtz (played by Michael Shannon) brings aboard an young aspiring actress, Charlie (played by Florence Pugh), who soon becomes the most fitting asset in the "theatre of real".
