- Spoiler alert -
Really good but not fantastic otm. I really enjoyed the series (great cast and wow, Emma Thompson especially was brilliant). The penultimate episode was the best, but I thought the finale with the whole 'liberating Viktor' arch was a bit much. I don't think it's cynical per se: there's concentration camps all over the world (UK and US, too), but it hardly creates the stir it should.
But, as I said, pretty much great acting all around and RTD either got a lot of things right/made them scarily believable. It's just that some things aren't even predictions any more, they're real already :-/
Do wonder if there will be a second season, and if it can be 'not bonkers' after how this ended (with Edith uploaded in water molecules etc)

Is this the closest thing we have to a general British TV drama thread?
I tried to get one going a (shockingly long) while back but it didn't take -
Rolling UK drama thread - "Paul Abbot, do you have David Simon's number by any chance?"

No programme that good should be tucked away on a rolling thread.
