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'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.

The series was a high paced thrill ride that even during moments where it was pretty imperfect still flew by thanks to the pacing. One criticism is they could have done a better job early on making you care about the characters that deserved it but by the halfway point they managed to improve these points to. Set up nicely if they want to do a season 2 and I'd certainly be there to watch!

Great Acting and a great plot. Highly recommend you watch it!

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 :)

Sky why bother? Why did everyone up north set up in a tent village outside the hospital? 🤣🤣. So dumb

Great programme, but certain aspects are clearly biased towards a certain left-wing political party.

If you're going to make a TV programme, don't turn into a political platform.

This is what i expect from a tv show. Till the last minute a thrilling storyline. Great role for Robert Carlyle - whos acting is spot on. Same for Victoria Hamilton. A very well put together cast. Hoping for season 2

Having watched the first 2 seasons it's entertaining and a fun dramatised incite into the goings on in COBRA, but for me it could go further. The writers introduce the jeopardy over 5 episodes, slowly increasing it but then always leave it to the last 5mins of the show for a miracle to come along and save the day. Will would prefer a faster pace with a whole final episode that devoted to a conclusion rather than right before the credits rolls. It's like defusing a bomb with 1 sec left on the timer again and again. Why wait!

You can't fault the casting, there's some great British acting being done with a star cast!

Halfway through the second episode i was praying for an actual EMP, so the power went off and i didnt have to endure any more of this garbage

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.

Robert Carlyle's excellence can't save the show, but he does offer glimpses of a classic 24 thriller even if the only Sutherland is executive office. Show is based on political uproar from a seemingly un-natural natural episode. I've just binged all 6 episodes and they were enjoyable despite the leap to apocalyptic doom. Still better than 80% of new American drama.

Could have been so good, and wouldn't have needed the expensive of renting mobs of extras and building a fake plane crash on a disused airfield.

Could have followed the PM around in a mockumentary way showing just how hard it is to coordinate rescue and relief efforts while holed-up in Whitehall with antiquated communications.

Instead we get what appears to be a mash-up of Casualty and with The Bill. Absolutely horrendous.

Ignore the poor reviews. I'm convinced folks award one star if a show isn't the best thing they've ever seen period. It's no House if Cards but it's a good in most places, very good in some. Lots of tense stand-offs and believable character.

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}

... this show was pretty much from the beginning a kind of fantasy-political-crime-thriller... all long pushing boundaries of believability ... then in S2 E4 they really blew up what little was remaining in storytelling that just became absurd & pretty damn hard to recover from.

Living in Northumberland and bring a bid Robbie Carlisle fan I tried to give this a go but my it is bad. At one point the day Stockton is north of Newcastle and play Northumberland as some some small small city. The geography is all over as is the lack of extras, if it was a state emergency survey there would be more than 1 policeman and 30 surfing public Poor effects poor writing so bad it's not good

I thoroughly enjoyed this Sky One drama. The acting was epic and the plot line kept me in the edge of my seat. The best TV show I have seen in a while. Robert Carlyle was brilliant in his role as PM. What a brilliant bit of casting.

It's not amazing and the script is a bit poor but it's not as bad as some people are making it out to be

Persevered for all 6 episodes, as dramas can improve, sadly this is truly awful.

There is something very disingenuous about cobra, a weak sauce, governmental soap opera, sett in a made up world, where politicians have morals, and some basic level of competency.

It's all completely ludicrous. Having seen what Sunak and Johnson and May and the rest of the clown car;s occupants have done to the UK it is completely and utterly unbelievable that any Tory government would handle any of the so-called crises that present themselves in COBRA with anything like this level of competence, or confidence, or without simply doing what it would take to keep them in government, and get another job in the private sector afterwards.

Some of the script is just poor. A bit like modern Britain.

Summary: Tory Government Soap Opera.
