Their [John Brownlow and co-writer Don Macpherson's] saga is so vividly shaded, even minor characters resonate.
The performances here are all good, and the chemistry between Cooper and, particularly, his lovers is palpable.
Cooper is compelling as an overconfident hothead who sees creative potential around each corner. Trouble is, no matter what the writers dream up for Fleming, Fleming has already dreamed up better for Bond. [10 Feb 2014, p.48]
An enjoyable if inflated and overwrought four-part mini-series.
Ultimately, Fleming will leave you neither shaken nor stirred.
When not trapped in the effort to wring excitement from Fleming's adventurous sex life, the series rolls on compellingly with his spying adventures, his role in creating a special operations unit.
Fleming the character is Bond without the mystery, and Fleming the miniseries is a Bond epic reduced to the most generic of redemption stories.
