My summary is a brave statement indeed, particularly in the company of both Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. However, this is a masterful insight into the inner working of British politics, and I'm sure Australians and Canadians would be able to relate, sharing the Westminster style of government.
It is satirical comedy on a level all its own. Peter Capaldi's character, Malcolm Tucker, is truly the most aggressive and acerbic party spin doctor imaginable, and deals out some of the best put-downs ever seen on television. If you get the chance to watch the movie, In the Loop, you can also share their US experiences, although the characters do not all align, with the exception of Capaldi's.
This is a programme I watch time and time again, especially when I need to unburden pent-up, work-related frustrations if only to be reminded that on television at least, if you have the gall and unremitting aggression, you can get away with pulverising your adversaries into utter submission. Go get it!
