Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a small audience and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh and history buffs. If you loved Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist or Skins, start here.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, intense.
- The pace
- One season: easy to finish in a weekend or two, hour-long episodes, about 6 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Nothing much for most grown-ups.
During the Suez Crisis of 1956, two young clerks at the stuffy Foreign Office in Whitehall display little interest in the decline of the British Empire. To their eyes, it can hardly compete with girls, rock music, and the intrigue of romantic entanglements.
