British politics has always been enthralled in drama. When being homosexual in Britain was illegal and being a politician spells the end.
Probably Hugh Grants finest performance…
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
Very entertaining. Fantastic performance by Hugh Grant.
Excellent performances based on a sordid true story. Similar format to the American Crime Story series.
It wasn’t really my thing but I see why others like it
Based on a true story. One of the characters is still living. It was ok. Thought the comedic element undermined the story’s seriousness.
Hugh Grant and Ben Whishaw at their best. Also, very well written.
I never finished it. Seemed rather boring.
Outstanding performances and great writing!
