British politics has always been enthralled in drama. When being homosexual in Britain was illegal and being a politician spells the end.

It got me hooked to the screen. It is a pleasure see Grant act more complex and morally compromised characters, you can feel he's having fun

Excellent performances based on a sordid true story. Similar format to the American Crime Story series.

Based on a true story. One of the characters is still living. It was ok. Thought the comedic element undermined the story’s seriousness.

Margaret Hale is a southerner from a country vicarage newly settled in the industrial northern town of Milton.

When the workers of Milton call a strike, Margaret takes their side, and the two are brought into deeper conflict. As events spiral out of control, Margaret - to her surprise - begins to fall in love with Thornton...
