Distributor - Netflix or online
My rating - 4 stars out of 5
This is a political drama rather than political thriller (as I would probably describe Scandal).
It isn't so much fast paced as fast talking. If you know nothing about American politics then you may struggle with some of the concepts and less so, the storylines (the same way detail can be lost in The Newsroom to a foreign, i.e. non American, audience). Lets face it, the American writer does not write with a non native audience in mind, selling to other territories is just a bonus to them.
That aside, this is a fairly gripping tv show. I am yet to finish the season but I am liking what I've seen to date. I'm finding myself recommending it, but I fail to be convinced if that is just because there are few shows separating the wheat from the chaff so far this year....
