This is a six-part series and that was just right. I wanted to stop after episode 1, but my wife wanted to try another so we did. I am glad because it we watched it to the end. The British have it right. If this were a U.S. show, it would have been turned into a multi-year series with writing handed off to the cheaper and talentless formula writers after the first episode. It would have gone down faster than a downhill racer until it committed unassisted suicide. Why do they do that?

I always enjoy watching the attractive and talented Keeley Hawes, and she didn't disappoint. In summary, good and realistic story about snakeskin politicians with good casting, acting, directing and great action. It wasn't perfect, but the wrap up in six episodes didn't give it time to leak the bad stuff.
