Ugh!
7 February 2023
PM is always poorly written with ridiculous and often convoluted plots and the worst excuse for dialogue in TV history. The acting in midling at-best, not helped by the ham-fisted direction this show is known for. Now, add a old, overacting, well-past-her-prime Bette Davis and you've got a real laugh-fest that gets old within minutes.

Her "style" of acting worked well in the heyday of Hollywood (40s and 50s), but was visibly outdated by this time and didn't work well on the small screen anyway. If you didn't know who she was, you'd think her to be a joke here (I do, anyway).

Think I'll go watch Ozzie & Harriet on another channel. No great actors there either, but then they're not pretending to be.
