Delve into the murky world of espionage in The Secret Agent (2016), a three-part BBC miniseries based on Joseph Conrad's acclaimed novel. Set in Victorian London, the series follows the complex story of Verloc (Toby Jones), a seemingly ordinary owner of a seedy shop in Soho.
Verloc's unassuming life masks a shocking secret: he's a double agent, working for the Russian embassy while pretending to be a sympathiser with a group of bumbling anarchists. Verloc toes a dangerous line, caught between his loyalty to his family and the demands of his ruthless employers.
When Verloc is tasked with carrying out a deadly mission, his carefully constructed world crumbles. The consequences are far-reaching, plunging Verloc and those around him into a spiral of violence, betrayal, and moral dilemmas.
