Throughout, Spies delivers the vicarious pleasures of old-fashioned spy movies with the bold contemporary frankness of the best of cable.

Spies of Warsaw is a deeply romantic, intricately plotted, and well-structured character study.

Most of the performances are superb, beginning with Tennant, of course. He is so well cast and skilled that he's able to sustain credibility despite some of the gaps in the script.

It’s an enjoyable, straightforward espionage tale without a lot of twists or extra layers.

Spies of Warsaw starts off as a complex spy drama and feels like it finishes as a less complex romance drama.

The story wanders slowly and aimlessly when it should be tumbling toward a climax. It’s a ride on flat terrain.

The cloak-and-dagger stuff, however, proves terribly mild, and the romance stiff and hackneyed.
