Close to the Enemy (2016)

"Close to the Enemy" is a BBC period drama set in the aftermath of World War II, following the tense, morally murky world of espionage and reconstruction in postwar London. The series leans into slow-burn tension and shadowy intrigue rather than action, giving its cast room to explore quieter, more intimate dramatic beats. Charlotte Riley anchors much of that emotional weight, and her performance includes a few scenes that strip away the period restraint entirely. The archive holds 3 scenes from the show, with Riley baring skin in exchanges that feel as charged as the show's espionage plotting itself.
