What a great show! Richardon's acting, the British context and a more realistic plot keep it infinitely better than the American remake.
Superbly written and performed political drama. Ian Richardson excels in the lead role. Vastly superior to the US version.
A phenomenal power-political drama. More grounded and perhaps better than its American counterpart.
You might very well think that it’s better than the remake although much more old-fashioned. I couldn’t possibly comment. Richardson rules!
Despicable people come out on top. Brilliant.
I never got into the show and I don't understand why everyone liked it
First in the quintessential series of backroom politics, dirty tricks and slimeballs.
