The Big Picture Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer-Prize Prize-winning novel The Sympathizer is remarkable. It’s a scathing satire on racial identity and American imperialism, as well as a pulse-pounding conspiracy thriller. Very few books can balance such bleak subject matter with humor, but Nguyen did just that with his first work of fiction. That said, those who have read the novel will know it’d be extremely tough to adapt to the screen, particularly for a global audience.
Amid the fall of Saigon, the Captain flees to America alongside his other best friend/blood brother Bon and the General. The U.S. isn’t new territory for the Captain, since he studied as an exchange student a few years prior, and is trusted to help the South Vietnamese refugees adapt to their new home. In the meantime, he continues to spy on those who trust him most, reporting back to Man.
While the fast pace of The Sympathizer does make the series all the more entertaining, it sometimes leads to some of the characters and plotlines feeling underdeveloped. The Captain’s relationship with Lana , the rebellious daughter of the General, is particularly glossed over by the show’s end. It’s a complaint that's almost secondary, as, much like its source material, The Sympathizer is told completely through the eyes of the Captain.
