Rules of the Game

I'm not agreement with all the reviews on here we really enjoyed it and unlike a lot of shows now actually finished watching it till the end to see the plot unfold...get pass the first one as people on here have commented without giving it a chance.

I have worked for the last 25 years in a mixed environment but mostly male. I have seen some of the behaviours shown in this series so I can relate to some of it , what is missing though is the representative good people and particularly all the good men, the ones who are kind, thoughtful and supportive. I have worked with some difficult women but also many who have worked incredibly hard and remain wonderful. What I am trying to say is that this series lacks nuance, it like using a brick to open a window. It's a start but only that. Hopefully something similar can be produced which taps into the idea that we are not all good or all bad.

I very nearly didn't watch this because of the low score, but Maxine Peake is always in great things, so I decided to give it a go. It's very watchable, interesting even if not terribly likeable characters, and overall well done, with the exception of poor acting by the police detective.

The harsh criticism is uncalled for in my opinion. It shows so many different workplace issues and it kept me engaged all the way through.

I would say that Maya was definitely a bit obsessive and it would've been good to see her focus on other topics not just the one involving tess but I understand that was the point of the show. I didn't like the cheese club either that was silly and I can agree much of the cast was unlikeable but that is the point I think. Did we even see Maya's mother shed a tear?

Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it.

I have just watched rules of the game on the BBC I found this 4 part drama/ mystery really entertaining, I don't know why others have rated it so low, I don't know what they were watching. The cast was excellent especially Maxine Peake & Alison Steadmans performances. The plot is plausible, I suspect this happens in many corporations around the world. The script was well written I would give it a go, but perhaps see all episodes before commenting to give the plot time to develop. I don't agree with other's sentiments on this drama, I would highly recommend.
