The first series of this political thriller ended with one of the finest television moments ever created – and now it’s back. It’s so good it’s like watching several great shows all at once
n the bathroom of a plush function room, the US ambassador to the UK, Kate Wyler , is struggling to take off her dress. She’s desperate to get out of this strappy orange cage so she can put on a jacket and jeans and get back to work. Eventually, unable to find a fastener among all the delicately interlocking loops at the back of her neck, she rips the thing in two, discards a couple of grand’s worth of fine fabric, changes, and stalks purposefully off.
Dutifully popping canapes at events with minimal real-world importance is not Kate’s style, which initially created a deft, very funny comedy of manners, sharply considering the fusty traditions that slow British politics down. But Kate’s arrival – and that of her semi-estranged husband Hal , a more experienced, smoothly manipulative operator dedicated to advancing his own interests – was not by chance.
