He lived it before he wrote it.

Set at the outbreak of WWII – mischievous playboy Ian Fleming is untroubled by the specter of impending war – chasing women, collecting rare books and living off his family fortune. Forever in the shadow of his brother Peter, and an eternal disappointment to his formidable mother Eve, Fleming dreams of becoming the ‘ultimate’ man – a hero, a lover, a brute and the one who always gets the girl. He is finally given some direction in his life when he’s recruited by the Director of Naval Intelligence to help in the effort against the Nazis. Suddenly, Fleming finds his chance to shine and prove his worth.

Matt Roush · TV Guide Magazine 80.00/100.00

Connick, who was among Idol's most engaging mentors in past seasons, is even more adept in this new role, and the chemistry on the current panel is at least on par with the more celebrated Voice cast. As Idol wraps its auditions this week before heading to Hollywood, I find myself looking more forward to the actual competition than I have in years.

Une biographie très romancée de l’auteur de James Bond : on se demande sans cesse ce qui est plus ou moins vrai, plus ou moins faux, éxagéré ou à la limite, plus ou moins caricaturé ! Cela dit, hormis les effets numériques qui font de la peine, cette mini-série en 4 épisodes est bien agréable, elle se laisse regarder comme un vrai roman… Ian Fleming, héros de la guerre secrète, grande gueule, (in)novateur, homme à femmes ou mythomane opportuniste veinard issu d’une famille de la grande bourgeoisie ? C’est là sans doute toute la contradiction de celui qui voulait être James Bond, je suppose. Bref, on y croit pas trop mais c’est fort divertissant et bien mené.

Tim Goodman · The Hollywood Reporter 80.00/100.00

Directed with aplomb by Mat Whitecross, who periodically decides, in the course of this four-hour feast, to stop making a movie about a man and instead make a Bond movie, Fleming is the kind of movie that winks at you constantly and you never get annoyed by the intimations.
