Hhhmmmmm, it's been a patchy series in general, I found the beginning slow, and the middle part really rather good, pacing has been an issue throughout however.
The final part, more good than bad, but overall, it could have been a lot better. It's going to come down to how much you want a drama to be plausible, and at least be somewhat realistic, if those aren't a factor for you, you may well like it. There is no sense of reality here for the most part, some of the scenes are almost in the realms of fantasy fiction, so much of it just wouldn't happen.
It is all bells and whistles, but what is presented looks good, and the acting is incredibly good, Fiona Shaw especially, but when isn't she!
The chilling scene about approval ratings just prior to the Paris cut was perhaps the darkest element here, and I fear in a county where human rights are by many standards very poor, that there was some uneasy resonance in that.
I'm glad there's no third series, this really does feel like it's run its course, Series one was superior, this second was ok, boosted by phenomenal acting.
Overall, not bad, 6/10.
