We are out of the loop - this came out a year ago - they're about to release Season 3!
It wasn't at all annoying that Netflix wouldn't play the recap. But by episode two we were caught up enough. It directly follows 1, and we're reeling from a bomb blast which may have originated from within the British Establishment.
Like everything streaming, it seems to take forever for nothing to happen. We're being repeatedly told that attention spans are dwindling, that kids only watch minute TikTok videos - why then is everything streaming so attenuated, so long, so endlessly stretched?
The supporting story between Ali Ahn and Ato Essandoh - they've split up, we don't really know why - is so frivolous it may as well not be there. And he's out-of-the-loop working-his-way-back-in - blah blah plotting. David Gyasi is all set to launch a coup against the PM Rory Kinnear (good) then becomes his most devoted subject??
Thankfully it's only six episodes. The ending is funny as never trustworthy husband Rufus Sewell has accidentally 'killed' the President.
With Allison Janney, Narnia's Georgie Henley (I wonder why they only made the first three - oh, OK, I can guess..), Celia Imrie, various writers. Henley's character is going to become something significant, you just know it, the Fifth Agent of Smersh or The Third Man or something...
