'The Little Drummer Girl': A new bond will be tested in Episode 5 even as fiction and reality blur for Charlie
BBC One's adaptation of John Le Carre's 1983 novel, 'The Little Drummer Girl', is gradually drawing to a close with just two episodes left in the current series. The show, helmed by Park Chan-wook, follows young and aspiring actress Charlie who is lured into posing as the lover of Palestinian terrorist Michel (played by Amir Khoury), by two Mossad agents Marty Kurtz and Becker. Starring Florence Pugh (who plays Charlie), Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgard (who portray the Mossad agents), the show has reached a point where the line between reality and fiction has blurred to give rise to catastrophe.
In the fourth episode, we saw Charlie awaiting a contact from Michel's people as she is being trained by Becker. He teaches her every tactic possible to outwit the terrorists who were following the notorious Israeli terrorist, Khalil (played by Charif Ghattas), which includes her gait, pose and even the way she responds to an answer and holds a gun.
