This week, DtW takes a look at both sides of a sad, scary, and strangely funny story of The Sympathizer! Dan and Raul checked out the Max streaming, HBO-branded adaptation of the darkly comedic novel of the same name, and are both impressed after a few eps. Lead character The Captain walks a frighteningly fine line between soldier, spy, and effective enemy operative as he weaves between his Vietnamese allies on both sides of the confrontation. Peppering in A-Listers in surprising roles at times helps keep the pace bouncy alongside the playful narrator, but is it worth sticking with, or do a few small issues add up to anything serious? Who's to say what side is the right side, It's best to listen and find out!
