Review

Tim Glanfield

Dark, twisted and at times hilarious, this glossy HBO comedy drama from Jesse Armstrong (co-creator of Peep Show) follows the dysfunctional Roy family, owners of a powerful media conglomerate. As the health of patriarch Logan (Brian Cox) fails, his four grown-up children with varying connections to the company and even more varying character flaws prepare for life without their father.

With its twists and turns, and stellar performances from an ensemble cast, it’s a brilliant piece of television.
