Featured review
Famed and loved TV presenter Douglas Bellowes makes a comment at a wedding, a comment that is deemed sexist. The comment is witnessed by a fellow guest, who posts the incident on Twitter, a media frenzy begins, and Douglas faces cancellation.
Stick with it, I struggled to get through episodes one and two, in episode three however, a switch is flicked, and it transforms into a tense, thought provoking story of control and abuse.
I was expecting a comedy drama, and early on there are snippets of humour, but all of that vanishes in episode three, the tone changes, as does the whole feel. Moffat makes you think, question and try to apportion blame to the various parties, you question who is guilty of what, who's the real villain.
Steven Moffat went for tried and tested, cast members he successfully worked with on Doctor Who, and none of them disappoint, wonderful to see Karen Gillan and Alex Kingston reunited. Hugh Bonneville and Ben Miles are fantastic too.
Please don't quit at episode two, stick with it, I assure you at episode three it will reward you.
8/10.
