Season 1, Episode 9
5/10
After Moscow
1 May 2020
So Reilly's dreams of being the leader of Russia has ended in failure. His supporters thought they were so near and want money for another attempt in league with Russian exiles who despise the Leninist government.

In Britain there is an enquiry as to what exactly happened and Reilly's role in all this. Luckily for him the end of World War One is announced.

In Moscow Lenin recovers from his assassination attempt. In their absence a Tribunal sentences both Reilly and Lockhart to death.

It really is the start of the endgame for Reilly. There is an assassin on his tale and Dzerzhinsky plots Reilly's downfall. A psychic even shows Reilly a picture of his death.

I really wanted an explanation as to why Reilly thought he could lead Russia. There was no answer and it just makes you wonder that the man was an incorrigible chancer.

Another episode where I felt was slow going and padded. There is no way the series needed to be in 12 parts and these latter episodes could easily had been abbreviated.
