Critics mostly approved — the story was the common complaint. — distilled from critics' published reviews
Is it worth starting?
This is 4 seasons deep — English drama with a war & politics streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
Don't watch this if…
- you're not starting a 4-season show this week
- kids are in the room. This one is rated TV-MA
- Why
- Currently 7.6/10 from 498 ratings, which is a good sign this early.
- Skip if
- a backlog this size is the opposite of what you're after
- Best for
- A proper binge, once you've got the weeks for it
