I'm only on S2 so far but I'll probably go through to the end. The show was much hyped as gripping political drama but I'm feeling let down as it falls well behind House of Cards, West Wing and the absolute champion in this category and my favourite, Borgen. The scenario is improbable with an irritating British pretentiousness, smarmy clever sounding phrasing and repartee but do they really have to say "fuck" or "fucking" every few words? There's some fine acting from a talented cast which deserved a better script.
