This is clearly a take on Guardian vs The Sun (or Mail) and it is entertaining and the characters are believable. A very entertaining show.
Ben Chaplin really can play a ruthless man very well, and I thin Charlotte Riley is just fabulous and very versatile. I hope they will renew this.
It was a very interesting program, only wished it was longer. It ended just when it started getting similar to what is going on now here. Reminded me of Newsroom program. Hope some sharp Producers pick this idea up to monitor Our current Political battle in the U.S.
I'm surprised by the negative reviews for this series. I think with all the great dramas that are showing at the moment this series has slipped under the radar a bit.
Great cast and definitely worth a watch, I suspect it's uncomfortably close to the truth about what goes on the in the murky world of journalism
There is so much drivel out there. So many tv series are poorly scripted, poorly acted and lack realistic plots. This was the exact opposite. The two central characters played by Charlotte Riley and Ben Chaplin are a master class in acting, perfectly matched and utterly believable. The story lines interesting and reflect what we see say to say in the British press. I can't understand why there is only one series??! Baffling. There is so much more scope for character and story development with the incredible ensemble cast of Al Weaver, Paapa Essiedu and Ellie Kendrick. What a waste!
I am enjoying this series no end; compelling storylines, great characters, great script, great acting, excellent comparative plots with current affairs - when I watch I'm completely absorbed.
Why are there not at LEAST 3 series?
Only 6 episodes in total?
What is wrong with this industry?
I don't get it. Bloomin line of duty has loads of episodes and was like watching angry amateur night compared to this; all of them stomping around, shouting at each other with grumpy faces - you'd be forgiven for thinking that being mind bendingly jilted (for whatever reason) is a prerequisite for being on the force!
The only nonsense is the flat share situation - in reality no person in their right mind would let that happen - big error on the writers part.
