Some fine performances from a very strong cast are hamstrung by a script and directorial style which largely paints in broad comedic brush strokes. When the tone needs to shift, it jars; and the character arc given to Dominic Cummings seems hopelessly fanciful in the light of more recent events. The whole thing, while entertaining, fails to learn the lesson it is trying to teach: the smugness of the political establishment and a patronising view of others (others who are represented, it seems, by just three characters with any meaningful dialogue.)
