The spy who came in from the cold... and nobody believed he was actually cold.
At the height of the cold war, a known Russian spy ("Kyril") is sent to the UK under falsely reported pretenses in order to hopefully indirectly spark an unknown mole in the KGB to reveal himself; the endeavor eventually has repercussions which none of the initial players could have predicted.
Acting
Edward Woodward's weary spy cynicism hits different.
Writing
Le Carré-level knotty plotting without the brand recognition.
