Episode 1. Excellent
Episode2.good
Episode 3 awful
Episode 4. Good
The problem with episode 3 is the lack of sympathy one feels for the daughters of the central character .they have lived in a good home and have had a good education without the worry of finance .I personally would have loved there start in life .but all they display is vacuous self pity this middle class angst spoils the show .david hare is a very good writer and yes maybe there is truth in it being accused of left wing but when we have a member of the Tory front bench who has shares in a company which put out a statement that claimed that the pandemic was a golden opportunity to make money one has to agree there is truth in what he is saying.anyway back to the show laurie et all are uniformly good .the convulted plot about the duplicity of modern politics is believable and apart from the ungrateful family this is a good political thriller.
