a poor man's "The Good Wife", set in the less familiar British political context, rather than American, with improbable psychological turns and plot twists, a mediocre script and, generally, pedestrian production values

An arrogant, cheating husband has the good / bad luck of being married to a very smart woman. Revenge is sweet. Recommend. Kristi & Abby Tabby

All in all a pretty good flick. Although Minnie Driver is the headline name, she plays a relatively small role in the movie.

See also The Politicians Husband by same writer following this one. Sometimes hard to watch & frequently I was lost with the strategies. Still, I find it so much better than drivel H-wood puts out.

Nicely done mini-series with great acting.

So a right wing politician's wife takes revenge and becomes a right wing politician - but no detailing of their feelings/ideas about their really scurrilous work.

A cut-above PBS mini-series focusing on scandals and intrigues in London's Houses of Parliament. Bonuses include an intelligent performance by Juliet Stevenson in the leading role, plus a couple of surprisingly imaginative sex tapes, purposefully seeded into an otherwise typically restrained British screenplay. A young Minnie Driver excels in her role as the floozie.

Great movie. Juliet Stevenson a
marvellous actress.

This British drama lives up to the reputation of being the best of the best. The acting, directing, camerawork - all top notch and it's also a riveting story.

Juliet Stevenson is perfect as the devoted, hard working, under appreciated wife behind the scene.
