The Company

We've been putting our house back together after a near-summer-long construction project, so we've been remiss in mentioning this, but the TNT adaptation of Robert Littell's "The Company" began on Sunday. (I mentioned it a while ago here.) Did anyone catch it? We, alas, did not, but the first episode is saved on our DVR and I hope to get to it later in the week. There are, I gather, two more episodes in the coming weeks.

As I've mentioned several times before, Littell's book is one of the better--if not the best--fictional takes on the CIA that I've read. It covers similar ground as Robert DeNiro's "The Good Shepherd''--Ivy League pinheads get recruited into the OSS (later the CIA); said pinheads swashbuckle around Europe killing people and breaking things; a character without much personality loosely based on CIA counterntelligence chief James Jesus Angleton thinks the agency is chock full of moles; everyone else thinks said character is nuts; said character turns out to to be right and his colleagues look like morons. You get the picture.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to watching this. It's got to be better than the DeNiro movie, which I think was a missed opportunity.
