Took a couple of episodes to get into, but once you're in the tension, and comedy, start ratcheting up. Famously, none of the characters are really likeable, this is a drama (loosely based on the Murdoch media dynasty, with aq bit of /trumpo thrown in) which looks at how a rich and powerful family can time itself in knots about who has power and influence.
The fact the show runner used to work on The Thick of it and Veep shows as there's a lot of very sharp dialogue, and some cracking gags too. Can' wait for season 2.
Hated this. Series of unpleasant characters trying to get one over on each other. One episode was quite enough. And I watched the whole of The Wire, twice.
A fantastic series . Each episode is enthralling from start to finish with great writing , acting and direction.
I would give this 4.8 out of 5 if i could . I hope this series retains its high quality throughout the rest of its run.
