This BBC miniseries is just fantastic.
This is a perfect combination of the action and political intrigue of Fox's "24" that keeps you guessing as to who is the good guy and who is the bad guy , with the skilled intelligent writing that came with A.B.C.'s "The West Wing". And it makes for an explosive and suspenseful watch .
When a flight explodes in mid-air over Washington, the British Embassy finds itself in the middle of a diplomatic catastrophe. And as British Ambassador Mark Brydon , played wonderfully by Jason Issacs , tries to get a hold of the situation , he slips deeper and deeper into the quagmire around him .
You have the U.S. Secretary of Defense Lynne Warner, who is brilliantly portrayed by Sharon Gless, pushing her own agenda, her Undersecretary who has his own, and Brydon's assistant..among many others all playing there own hands as well.
The one thing you will need to do with this movie, is PAY ATTENTION to everything. The plot is quite intricate and tangled. It can seem convoluted and lose you real quick because of all the political ploys going on. But I am sure that you will be on the edge of your seat anticipating the next chess move to be made in this.
