Talk:The Game (British TV series)

Does this article need to tell the entire story?
A few things. 1, I think that this entire article tells an overly-detailed retelling of the story. 2, Even if it's acceptable to tell all these details, the decision on what to tell pr focus on is based on a personal viewer, and thus it's open to personal focus. 3, in its discussion and focus on plot it ignores societal pressures which impact how characters behave.

I don't think Wikipedia is intended to be a Cliff Notes substitute for watching the series, but that seems to be how this page has been written. This is a page about a six-episode series, and IMO it goes into excruciating detail. I think it could be 25% of the length it is.

Putting this out, because it really could be much shorter.Frank Lynch (talk) 03:01, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Plot discussion
Having just seen the series, I think the plot discussion is too suspect to an individual's interpretation of what actually occurred in the series, and should be removed or revamped. For instance, it suggests that in a park bench discussion Sarah, known to be a mole to viewers at the stage of the scene, is known to be a mole to Joe Lambe. This is subject to discussion. A show like this benefits from crowd-sourced water-cooler discussions, but this discussion of the plot seems too driven by a single individual's interpretation.

2 needed Corrections, 2'nd not yet implemented: 1. A sleeper is already a KGB agent, so is activated, not "recruited" when turned-on. 2. When sleeper 'turns himself in', to work for MI5 instead, he becomes a "double agent". If he is none-the-less actually still working for KGB, then he is a triple agent, not a "double agent" as erroneously stated and linked. Both of these points are not arguable against by anyone seriously informed about the spy game     Tommster1 (talk) 09:30, 4 December 2020 (UTC) .
