'The Little Drummer Girl' receives mixed reviews on social media critics with some calling it 'outstanding' and others 'too slow'

Good or bad, boring or intriguing, the show is the perfect tribute to every classic spy movie and show ever made.

The Florence Pugh starring spy-espionage drama has received a plethora of good reviews from media critics, however, the situation seems to be a little vague with the Twitter critics. As the first episode of 'The Little Drummer Girl' aired on BBC 1 on October 28, fans took to Twitter to state their opinions about BBC's second adaptation of a John Le Carre novel (the first being the 2016 Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie starring show, 'The Night Manager').

Coming from the same team as 'The Night Manager', the show follows the young and aspiring  actress Charlie (played by Pugh) who becomes a matter of interest to the Mossad agents, Marty Kurtz (played by Michael Shannon) and Becker (played by Alexander Skarsgard). Marty, who is intolerant about the Arab-Israel conflict, is determined to capture a terrorist. While some fans received the thriller as a perfect tribute to classic spy movies, others were confused what the show was actually about. One fan commented, "It can't just be me that has no idea what on earth #TheLittleDrummerGirl is all about....surely?"
