Review of The Whistleblowers

This is really exciting and bang-up-to-today's headlines. The opening episode deals with "rendition" and is pretty breathtaking. Both leads are excellent actors with good cvs and classical training and both have shown great versatility during their careers thus far. Perhaps Richard Coyle is best known for his great comic turn in "Coupling" and he is really good here in a very different role. It's nice to see Indira Varma follow up her brilliant performance as Niobe in "Rome" with a leading role in this excellent thriller series. In my opinion she is quite fearless as an actor and both her and Coyle show considerable skill as they lead us through one thrilling situation after another,their characters interacting splendidly. Miss Varma's mesmerising beauty has been buttoned down somewhat for her Alisha character, very much a contrast to her smouldering interpretation of Niobe as she practically melted down the screen in "Rome"! A fine actor and probably the most classically beautiful woman currently on our screens. Casting directors and producers please keep her busy!
