TV show description:
A historical dark comedy-drama series, The Sympathizer TV show is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Viet Thanh Nguyen.
The story revolves around the struggles of the Captain (Xuande), a half-French, half-Vietnamese communist spy during the final days of the Vietnam War.
He flees to America with his general (Le) and begins a new life in Los Angeles within a community of South Vietnamese refugees.
The Captain soon learns that his spying days aren’t over, though. He spies on his new community and reports what he’s learned back to the Viet Cong. The Captain is conflicted, however, and finds that he is torn between loyalties to his former life and his new community.
