Okay without going into too much detail until we've all seen it... Robert is awesome! (As always.) The show started off with a great first episode setting up the situation very well, and I was eager to see the next one. I enjoyed the show and would recommend it, but I imagine anyone who doesn't know much about British politics might find it hard to follow at times!
My major criticisms are the plot devices which lead to a lot of tense moments. I felt like some of the reactions from the public were unrealistic and scaremongering. I also thought that the reaction of the Government at times was not realistic either. There were also several quite daft moments,
Anyway I really enjoyed watching it despite things like that.
