A Spy Among Friends director explains why the show is deliberately confusing
"That typifies our approach to the storytelling. It does expect the audience to have a degree of intelligence to keep up, and to pay attention," he continued.
Murphy went on to add that the time jumps make sense in order to tell the story of Elliott and Philby's friendship. "When you watch [the show], the thread that justifies why you makes these leaps is emotionally connected," he continued."You don't feel [like], 'Hang on a second, I'm just going from the point of narrative'. I'm going to answer a question I'm already asking.
"The jump-around – the almost discombobulating structure of that – is part of the point. We try to work out what their friendship meant, and what it means, and what was it? What did I know back then? Could I see it back then?
