Looks set to plumb the depths of conplex family relationships and the corrupting influences of power.
There is something really intriguing about the series. Gere is absolutely brilliant and so are the other leading roles. I don't understand the bad reviews at all. Great co-viewing opportunities with your partner:)
On an impulse i downloaded all 8 episodes, not knowing what to expect.
I was captivated from the start. Every episode making me want to watch more!
This is not for people who have a low attention span, it requires a thirst for story-telling and a heart that knows what it is to be human. We are all fragile.
For everyone who posseses these qualities, the reward is immense.
Good scripting, ruthless characters, fragile characters, parallels with current political shenanigans, joy, pain, excitement etc.
Most of all, we have gold standard acting from the whole cast.
This is drama at its best.
Billy Howle is fantastic - you'll be heartbroken one moment, terrified the next!
Everyone else is also brilliant - no-one let's you down.
Like others, I am at a loss to understand why some reviews gave this a hard time. Like I said - low attention span.
If you miss it - its your misfortune.
I wish all TV drama was this good.
Not your average drama thriller. Great cast and acting from everyone specially from Richard Gere who was ruthless. Good story and the suspense building up by each episode, but the ending was not great, actually the ending did unjust; with all the drama and suspense I was expecting more action.
A good series about modern family who are embroiled in a family drama about power politics and loyalty. Outstanding performances from Richard Gere, Billy Howle and Helen McCory. Finch is a man obsessed with his personal power and truth based on his ambition fueled by his industriast father. He tries to inculcate that ambition into his son Caden who fails to rise to the task. The rising political upheavals and authoritative depot who is reflective ot the Trump-ism of the times. The cult of personality and messianic delusions of the masses. The newspaper man who influences the masses with their own propaganda reminisient of The Murdock empire. A great social study for us.. the script does seem to wander off subject at times and seems to stray from the main storyline.
