No one does political drama like the Brits (either on screen or in real life) but this felt like a drama half-written. A good cast with solid performances, but no-one's motives were clear, the twists were not especially surprising and the ending was pretty weak. Whenever there was a chance for confrontation or explanation, it was smothered in a tepid passionless bedroom scene. (And could wardrobe only afford ONE nightie for Emily, or did her character wear the same negligee for months on end?) Plot threads were left dangling, characters were introduced but not explained and scenes seem to stop mid-stream.
Shame of it is, this could have been a strong role for a woman but it was an opportunity lost.
They needed Malcolm Tucker to sort them all out.
