"That Would Never Happen!" Dan and Ali write the real reviews of UK TV drama serials (stuff marketed as quality, if you please), telling it like it is rather than the my-mate's-the-director, I-get-party-invites, or the I-need-my-job reviews that often appear.

This continues to be superb, gripping drama, four episodes into series two. How often do we manage that?

The script is sharp, the performances nuanced, the stories unpredictable and with myriad fallouts. Worth ten hours of squinting to see all the subtitles. Seriously. Have I said that before? Nyborg for Staatsminister!
