This England
Anyone watching?
I'm 2 episodes in.
Like a slow motion World War Z.
The Cummings character comes across as a right shit despite looking like Chipps.
Carrie and Hancock seem to be quite sympathetically written.
Bit like that Margaret Thatcher bio film... not something I'd watch for entertainment. Saw far too much of the ****s on the news already.
Feels like the handling of the pandemic in 2020 is still a live issue, and something like this creates an 'authorised version' when I'm sure there is a lot more information that needs to come out.
And as above, bit soon for me.
On episode 3 now.
It is a bit raw.
Is it only about England or is it doing the usual conflating of England and the UK?
Cummings behaviour had effects well beyond England
Going to give it a miss as I don't want Alexander Johnson painting in any way shape or form any less than the **** he is. The statement above about the portraying of little Matty and Carrie-Antoinette reinforces that.
Also I think it's too soon. COVID is still with us and there is still stuff that Johnson did that is to come out.
