Writer Ben Chanan. A charismatic Secretary for Defense, Paapa Essiedu (Gangs of London, I May Destroy You, Kiri, The Miniaturist; also theatre, RSC), is deep faked into supporting a Chinese national surveillance pitch in the UK, then can't reveal the idea of 'correction' as the UK use it too. There's also invisible killers about. What larks!
Real plot hole though with scene where he's live on TV being interviewed but the fake is being broadcast - namely that all the crew and studio people would not only have seen the real broadcast but the cameras probably would have had a backup of it on their cameras.
Anyway the good guys seem to win in the end by managing their own broadcast deep fake - which would seem to muddy the waters considerably. The bad guy - Mr Big Tech (Joseph Arkley) - has an algorithm that will predict human behaviour, apparently. Still, at least we get a sense of closure, of some sort.
Holliday Grainger, Ben Miles, Lia Williams, Nigel Lindsay, Cavan Clerkin, Tessa Wong, Harry Michell, Daisy Waterstone (The Durrells).
