This is sooooo good.
Everything about this show is exceptionally good.
It's even a pleasure to watch the main titles, and listen to Mick Jagger's haunting interpretation of the title song "Strange Game".
Gary Oldman is at his peak in this part. He's perfect. And the rest of the cast delivers top-notch performances all-round. Even the bunch of idiot right-wing extremists are exceptionally good.
And the script... it's the meat and bones of all this. Properly structured, and well furnished in every way.
This is surely the most entertaining series I have ever seen in 50 years... after Monty Python's Flying Circus.
