Don't have Netflix so not sure what's available there, and several might not be wife-friendly. Also I enjoy weird, so YMMV.
As a non-Brit, I'm using the dictionary to look up words often, sometimes multiple times per page. So reading Le Carre's books as ebooks is better for me just for that reason.
I'm reading them in order. I found the first two enjoyable enough, but it took getting to the ending of The Spy Who Came In From The Cold for me to really "get" Le Carre. That floored me. Taking a break before starting the next one.
I also got a hint of that feeling from the "A Most Wanted Man" movie.
I didn't really like the Gary Oldman Tinker Tailor movie, so I'm not sure how much I'm looking forward to that book.
Have you watched "A most wanted man". It's a really good film, and even less happens in it than, Tinkor Tailor Soldier Spy. Not that nothing happens, it's just at the end you normally expect there to be a conclusion, but it feel very much like just the beginning of something.
It reminds me of "A most wanted man", a movie I would strongly recommend if the subject interests you (I cannot recommend the book since I have not read it yet).
