"The Game," a six-part drama, isn't one of the country's best, but if you like your cloak-and-dagger action served with intelligence and a lot of boardroom whispering, this is for you. The series takes place in 1972 London, where agents are trying to rub out a deadly Soviet plot that could be the end of the empire. 9 p.m. BBC America
