Begins most refreshingly with David Tennant playing Nick Davies playfully, to audience, redacting and changing names at will. (Funny moment when we meet 'Mr. Apollo' and several unlikely candidates - including Jonathan Ross - open the door first, before being rejected for Adrian Lester, who has the right gravitas).
Then episode 2 abruptly takes us back 10 years to the story of a police detective who is trying to gain convictions on a gang of lovely thugs, finds the News of The World's paid freelance journalist harassing him. (So many well known guest appearances here it begins to be distracting. Shh. Shouldn't complain.) This part of the story is filmed 'straight'.
I have to say - we'd been watching The Morning Show - and this was much more interesting.
