On her first day at GCHQ on work experience, Saara arrives just as the country's national power goes down.
A pretty good first episode I thought, it's a chilling concept, rewind a few years, and channel four put out a drama called Blackout, it gave me nightmares, there was a similar vibe here.
I think before the war in Ukraine, many of us believed that this would be the future of war.
I enjoyed seeing Simon Pegg in a straight laced role like this, he's good, he's very good, perhaps the standout here.
The Prime Minister, would it have been more realistic to have shown him hiding in a fridge, that would have been more accurate, and based on recent times, easier to relate to.
A few negatives, Pacing will be an issue for some, I wasn't sold on Adrian Lester's PM, and considering the enormity of the threat, it lacked urgency and panic, not concerned about the market crashing, they enjoyed a few hugs.
Stale, pale and male, did there really need to be an apology for that, come on that's getting beyond patronising, I'm not sure when it comes to national defence and security that it should be an issue. That's lazy writing, the way to actually cause division, not end it.
Good start, 7/10.
