I have just finished watching the first episode of this new BBC drama. As a former journalist who gave up the trade due to corporate media pressure (though I was never a scribbler for the "tabloids") I understand that -in addition to feeling such corporate media pressure- the writers employed by these outlets do or die by the entertainment appeal of their articles. So far, and judging by the first episode, I must say: "Well done!" For I found the writing quite compelling and the acting superb even by the minor characters. And because, as the episode ended, I felt it had reached a crescendo that has left me wanting for more. Hopefully, my expectations will be matched by future deliveries. Oh! On not such a surprising note, "Kudos to the Brits!"
