COBRA

Whilst there are some unresolved plot lines, seeing Robert Carlyle as the PM was a superb choice, excellent value. Richard Dormer is brilliant as ever as well, looking like he could go full on nutter at any moment. Top TV.

I don't know why everyone is giving this low scoring. I've just watched all the episodes today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Brilliant acting and a well thought out storyline. Queue the keyboard warriers :)

Is it people of a particular political stance that are giving this negative reviews I wonder? Anyway I thought it was a stellar performance from all involved. Though there were some parts I thought why would they do that, in some of the scenarios. I would certainly still recommend it. Will there be a second series to resolve some outstanding questions? I would like to think so.

Honestly, UK Drama is so well done! It seems there is an increasing appetite for political Drama (not too long ago I watched and reviewed BORGEN, another excellent drama about the a moderate party leader suddenly thrust into the premiere government office of Denmark). Perhaps it is because people are so fatigued by politics having gone so wrong. This is an excellent imagining of the personal lives and challenges of those responsible for dealing with a national crisis. The script has depth. The story is compelling. The acting is exquisite. Even though Obama once said, the presidency was as exciting as men in suits talking in a room, these dramas are far from boring. I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10. {Political Drama}

I'm not sure why this is being hated on so much.

It's different and more interesting than some of the recent stuff that is currently rated higher than this.
