Stuart Heritage Guardian 22h
3/5
You’re left with the sense that the producers have done the best they can with what is ultimately not a very visually interesting story. Go to Full Review Adam White Independent (UK) 22h
2/5
It’s all, weirdly, a bit silly -- the sordid details of this saga meshing uneasily with the demand to make Power entertaining television. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 1d
4/5
It is an instructive and important depiction of the blatant abuse of power. And also the gobsmacking recklessness of a man with so very much to lose, who has now burnt his bridges. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) 22h
Despite the royal overkill, there’s little sense here of a symbol of establishment power toppled. It makes an effort to be prestige, but the drama is ultimately brought down by its sensationalist instincts. Go to Full Review James Walton The Spectator 22h
t’s not easy for a drama to be over-cautious and clumsy at the same time. Or to turn a real-life story that shocked (and, let’s face it, titillated) the nation into an oddly flat piece of television. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) 1d
5/5
Clunes delivers an extraordinary portrayal that captures the body language, demeanour and menace of the man without descending into impersonation. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
