Pierce Brosnan stars in "The Son"
As the network that brought us such TV behemoths as "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead," AMC has set the prime-time bar pretty high. Any new programming to the cabler's roster has a lot to live up to, and there's no doubt that the showrunners for "The Son," with its A-list headliner and high-caliber source material, are well aware of this fact.
Q: I've just started reading Alan Furst's spy novels, and I really enjoy them. Have any been made into movies? They seem well suited for it.
