As someone who had been waiting since 1992 to be asked if it was OK being in the EU, you might expect me to excoriate this drama. I'm not. It was entertaining and for the most part well executed. Cumberbatch is engaging just as you'd expect although portrayals of minor characters are patchy. The pacing is pretty good, keeping what might otherwise be a dry political drama ticking along nicely.
What wasn't good? The silly prophecies and poorly grounded denouncements, which spoil an otherwise competent work.
