Park Chan-wook is among the best ever to do it. The director of the Vengeance trilogy—a trio of South Korean revenge movies, the most famous of which being Old Boy—has been steadily making his way into more mainstream projects following the Chris Evans–led Snowpiercer. Case in point: He's about to make his television debut on AMC with The Little Drummer Girl.

Like The Night Manager in 2016, The Little Drummer Girl is a British-American coproduction based on a John le Carré novel airing on both BBC One and AMC. It's got a great cast—Michael Shannon, Alexander Skarsgård, and Florence Pugh are the leads—along with a slick, tense, and understated feel that seems very much in step with the work of both Le Carré and Park. Check out the trailer—you'll see what we mean.

The summary, per AMC:

"The Little Drummer Girl" weaves an explosive story of espionage and international intrigue; of love and betrayal. Brilliant young actress Charlie (Pugh) strikes up an acquaintance with an intriguing stranger while on vacation in Greece, but it rapidly becomes apparent that his intentions are far from romantic. The man is Becker (Skarsgård), an Israeli intelligence officer, who entangles her in a complex and high-stakes plot orchestrated by Spymaster, Kurtz (Shannon).

The miniseries consists of three two-hour episodes, each airing at 9 p.m. and running from Monday, November 19, to Wednesday, November 21—making for a great pre-Thanksgiving stretch of clutch espionage TV.
