Seeing all the negative Reviews for the show I thought I would come on here to give my two cents. I found it on the Undeclared war to be gripping thriller so much so that I finished the whole season in one night. Hannah delivers a great performance along with Simon Pegg. One not to be missed!
The elephant in the room is that the subject matter of this series is very relevant and real. For those people who don't understand how the world works, this has probably flown over their collective heads. Yes, it's a drama series, but it's done very well. This is tight, clever, thought provoking writing. In today's ever changing world, it's refreshing to see something that takes chances and delivers. This definitely deserves your attention. Highly recommended.
First of all, this series did not strike me as being particularly 'woke', nor did I witness any aspect of the series that remotely resembled 'leftist propaganda'. This is a show that depicts politicians and GCHQ staff who don't all happen to be male and white. Some are, some aren't. That's all. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the writers seem to have made a genuine effort to avoid political or ideological bias altogether. At its heart, it is very much a character-driven story that doesn't concern itself with hidden agendas.
Be that as it may, 'The Undeclared War' is a Mini-Series not without it's flaws. A few instances of below par acting and the occasional minor plot hole prevents it from making its ascension into the very top tier of television, but it ultimately succeeds in achieving what it intends to achieve - telling a story as nuanced as it is engaging, whilst borrowing just enough source material from the political reality we all know well to present itself as a compelling and thought-provoking warning call to us all.
Even in light of its flaws, 'The Undeclared War' most certainly achieves what it intends to achieve. It doesn't quite achieve what it promised to achieve, however. It doesn't work quite as hard as say, the BBC's 'Years & Years' did, to hook its audience with the type of emotional depth and innovative dynamism that leaves their tears destined to fall and their jaws destined to drop. Nevertheless, its carefully developed storyline, sharp dialogue, and explosive plot twists ensure that it still achieves just enough to merit a solid 7/10 rating.

I don't know who these types are that are calling this show 'Inaccurate'. They certainly don't work with software!
I'm just bowled over by the accuracy. The whole setup, and the tech, is completely believable and obviously researched. Simon Pegg's influence? (Probably not, he's not a producer on this.)
The physical metaphors with corridors and walls and doors are essential, and I'm quite enjoying them - laypeople have NO idea what it looks like going through dense code. Especially slogging through code that's written by somebody else, let alone an adversary. This visual storytelling mechanism greatly eases things.
Also the portrayals of high-functioning Autism are, finally, actually right on the money.
But I'm only two or three episodes in, and I fear it is going to dissolve into mush. None of the characters are very likeable, but perhaps that's deliberate. The mains all ooze upper-class UK elitism, and the lead character trots out her religion whenever it suits her.
We'll see.

Let me start by saying that I admire Peter Kosminsky's work. Wolf Hall garnered much praise and I thought that The Promise was one of the best things I have ever seen on television. So I had very high expectations of this series.
By that benchmark this was a disappointment. Yet the storyline is ingenious, depicting terrifying events that might just be plausible and certainly act as a timely warning in this world of fake news and cyber warfare. So why the disappointment? I have a few quibbles, such as the sudden ending and the self-blame by the main character ringing false. But in reality it is because I wanted to watch a series that merited a score of 10, not a 7!
I will hope for something truely outstanding from Mr Kosminsky with his next venture ....
