For a three and a half hour drama, I was rivited. It is very British but it is topic as today’s headlines
In the age of TMZ and cameras everything, this political thriller about a high ranking government official (Micheal Gambon) trying to hide his private life. His daughter (Susannah Harker) leaks his affair to the press and her boyfriend (John Hannah) being a memmber of the press. So where does the press stop and a private matter begin?
It is good piece of filmmaking. I wish an American production company would take note of this production
Because I liked all the actors in this, I bought it (pardon the pun) on blind faith, which the acting and story line more than justified. The plot was realistic The characters behaved as real human beings would — sometimes venal, sometimes heroic. I thoroughly enjoyed this and thought it well worth the price.

I was gripped by this all the way through. The acting is outstanding and the storyline never lapses into cliché, with plenty of plot twists to keep the viewer gripped. I was particularly impressed by the writing of Susannah Harker’s character – a woman in a TV series that feels like a three-dimensional human being and not just a projection of a male fantasy, but all the characters are complex in the way they are written and portrayed. As well as the three leads – who are all excellent – there is equally impressive support from the likes of Connie Booth, Keith Allen, and Alexis Denisof.
