For The People (2018–2019)
7/10
Two sides of the same coin
26 October 2021
I have to admit: I really like the characters in this. And there are a couple of episodes that really had me going. It is because of the themes that they deal with. Something seems to be missing overall though to give it the extra nudge, the extra push this needed to make me go higher in the rating department.

Speaking of departments: you have two opposite groups of people ... but they only work for different bosses - well with different agendas too of course. But you get the human drama of it all. Sometimes it may seem too much drama - but overall there are so many good stories this tells, that you may not even care for the flaws this may show at times.

Acting wise I'm quite convinced - and giving us perspective ... and a different point of view or agenda. The show seems to know what it wants to tackle. And yet after two seasons all is over. If I were to rate only the character I reckon I would have gone higher ... I would think that is a compliment to the writing team and the actors too. Dialog is really fine too. And I guess this ends ... well sufficiently - mostly.
