8/10

Very well produced, intriguing... Politically biased???

Government Minister Peter Laurence escapes a court case, leaving The Prime Minister wondering if he's as squeaky clean as he makes out.

It's a very intriguing start, a series you'd have expected to come out of the 80's or 90's, it's a while since we've had a good political thriller.

Enjoyable, we are in such a troubled time politically, this dramatisation comes at a time where we need it.

The BBC has faced constant allegations of being biased, this doesn't help the cause, I'm not a Tory, far from it, but am someone that believes The BBC should be impartial, there is a bit of justifiable Tory bashing.

Laurie is very slick, as would be expected, he fits the kart well, as does McCrory, who's a bit more Margaret Thatcher than Theresa May.

A very strong start, 8/10.
