CriticsCritics: 83
AudienceAudience: 8.5

A newly appointed cabinet minister arrives eager to reform government, but quickly encounters entrenched bureaucracy and political maneuvering. As he tries to advance his ideas, he must navigate competing agendas, complicated official language, and the influence of experienced civil servants.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like intelligent, dialogue-driven British comedy with subtle satire and institutional intrigue; Not for you if you prefer fast-paced, broad humor or action-heavy stories.
