Cobra

Is it people of a particular political stance that are giving this negative reviews I wonder? Anyway I thought it was a stellar performance from all involved. Though there were some parts I thought why would they do that, in some of the scenarios. I would certainly still recommend it. Will there be a second series to resolve some outstanding questions? I would like to think so.

Great Acting and a great plot. Highly recommend you watch it!

The series was a high paced thrill ride that even during moments where it was pretty imperfect still flew by thanks to the pacing. One criticism is they could have done a better job early on making you care about the characters that deserved it but by the halfway point they managed to improve these points to. Set up nicely if they want to do a season 2 and I'd certainly be there to watch!

I'm not sure why this is being hated on so much.

It's different and more interesting than some of the recent stuff that is currently rated higher than this.

Honestly, UK Drama is so well done! It seems there is an increasing appetite for political Drama (not too long ago I watched and reviewed BORGEN, another excellent drama about the a moderate party leader suddenly thrust into the premiere government office of Denmark). Perhaps it is because people are so fatigued by politics having gone so wrong. This is an excellent imagining of the personal lives and challenges of those responsible for dealing with a national crisis. The script has depth. The story is compelling. The acting is exquisite. Even though Obama once said, the presidency was as exciting as men in suits talking in a room, these dramas are far from boring. I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10. {Political Drama}
