* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: In the book, when Charlie stays some time in a Palestinian refugee camp as part of her cover, planes buzz the camp but do not destroy it. One of the women there says that Charlie must be their good luck charm. Unbeknownst to her, Charlie actually ''is'' the reason the planes don't destroy the camp, which just makes her feel even worse about having lied to the refugees for weeks.

-->-- '''Charlie'''
Based on Creator/JohnLeCarre's 1983 novel of the same name, ''The Little Drummer Girl'' is a 2018 six-part crime drama Creator/{{BBC}} [[MiniSeries mini-series]] directed by Park Chan-wook, which stars or/AlexanderSkarsgard, Creator/MichaelShannon and Florence Pugh. Set in 1979, it follows [[TheLadette Charmian "Charlie" Ross]] (Pugh), an English actress on the political left, who is tapped by UsefulNotes/Mossad agent [[BunnyEarsLawyer
Martin Kurtz]] and his fellow BadassIsraeli agents as a potential DoubleAgent in a Palestinian terrorist cell which targets Israelis in Europe. Under the tutelage of SexyMentor Gadi (Skarsgard), Charlie slowly looses touch with what is true and what is fiction.
-----
!! Tropes found in this series include:
* BewareTheQuietOnes: True of both Khalil and Gadi - who are evidently NotSoDifferent. Both are very quiet, secretive men who are capable of violence and war.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: the mission has mostly succeeded and many lives were saved. However, many others have died - especially in the refugee camp, and Charlie is clearly deeply scarred]].
* ChekhovsGun: Charlie's bracelet.
** Also - her little radio.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: In her audition, Charlie proves to be short tempered, a bit of a pathological liar and as having a strong sense of justice.
** Gadi's first scene quickly establishes that he never answers questions.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Khalil]].
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: After Khalil is killed in the final episode, Charlie can barely bring herself to speak and has to be walked out of the house by Rachel]].
* ItWasAGift: Charlie's bracelet.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: twice - First with Gadi when he realizes Charlie has been taken by the cell members, then with Charlie when Khalil realizes she is a DoubleAgent.]]
* NotSoDifferent: The film establishes that in many ways - especially in the eyes of both Gadi and Charlie, Gadi and Khalil are actually a lot alike. Quite, reserved soldiers who were scarred in every possible way by war.
* OhCrap: When Charlie sees the planes charging towards the camp.
* PrettyLittleHeadshots: [[spoiler: Khalil.]]
* TheSeventies: The series revels in the time period.
* SpyFiction: a little less stale beer flavored than in La Care's other work.
