Anybody watching this one about Boris Johnson? I'm 1 episode in so far and it's very good.

Starts just before Covid and E1 takes you up to mid Feb 2020 when things are starting to get very serious.

Am up to Episode 3 and it's just so bleak that I'm going to knock it on the head.

Watching elderly folk dying in miserable circumstances is not what I need in my downtime right now.

The fact that the entire series only tells you the first half of the story is a negative too. For me ghe most interesting parts are how it all finished up.

Watched the first episode and thought it was very good. They make Dominic Cummings out to be a right which is probably a good representation anyway. Can't wait for the Barnard Castle excursion to be aired.

I'm 4 episodes in now and it's a tough watch but compelling.

We're just mid 'Barnard Castle' at the moment.

Agree, Ep3 was a hard watch.
Going to stick with it myself.

I thought E4 was an even tougher watch.

Really enjoyed that, right about Dominic Cummins, thoroughly nasty piece of work

Just finished ep3, it is hard watching but compelling.

If this was a fictional story it just wouldn’t be believable, I only believe it as we lived through it!
