“The finale’s bleak intensity surpassed expectations even for this operatic saga.”
-
CriticsTunes for Tyrants; W1A; Rellik; Liar

-
CriticsThe Last Post
“It’s not The Jewel in the Crown, but it could be an intriguing watch over the next six weeks.”

“A fascinating albeit depressing glimpse into a country that remains a mystery to outsiders.”
