Gripping stuff! The storylines are raw and powerful; definitely not for the squeamish but compulsive in their reality. The almost forensic insight into each of the characters and their frailties is just as absorbing as the plots and you find that you become friends with each of them, albeit in different ways. Superbly written and cast, with actors at the top of their game. And as a lock down antidote this is the perfect binge series to settle down to, although by the end of it you may not view politicians with much charity.
