Red Election

At the end of the tenth episode I had to check several times that it was, in fact, the final episode. So much was left unresolved. Felt a little like i'd wasted the best part of 10 hours of my life I will never get back! Disappointing.

God help Britain if its security was in the hands of the inept clowns who make up the secret service in this show. The "tension" and storyline relies on the bad guys continually and unbelievably evading the Keystone Cop-esque security forces. Appalling stuff.

My feeling is you watched the first episode with a predetermined mindset/agenda you came out of it thinking that the it was a 'girlpower special' because the two main characters are women and they do dominate the screen time. But if you actually view the series you will find that *all* of the *main* characters in the drama are flawed. They are not two dimensional, there is depth there. That to me is the mark of good TV/film.

Really liked this show but wish the threads were tied up unless there's another season.

Although I found the main character Beatrice a bit annoying at times.

No, this ain't good enough. What could have been a decent classic political thriller just felt like hasty "direct to TV" work with a story that gets worse and worse the longer into the series you get.

Acting is questionnable. Lydia Leonard (and most of the ensemble actually) has the same facial expression throughout all 10 episodes and the amount of frustrated "fuuu*k" is impressive. Must be the most commonly used word in the whole series...

Nothing to waste time on unfortunately.
