The show chunters on closer to contemporary times, and one wonders how they avoid libel: such is the unsympathetic lens through which some members of The Firm are viewed. Nevertheless it’s required viewing, and we mainlined the whole thing in 2 sittings (albeit, whilst on holiday). Quite remarkable how the female characters are the movers & shakers in this piece, and special mention to Emma Corrin and Gillian Anderson for their captivating portrayals of Diana and Thatcher… amid an already remarkable cast.
