not very good but keep watching it

This review contains spoilers.

We are on the 3rd series of this drama.

It concerns British governments who dealing with crises.

COBRA is the name of the crisis room where governments meet in time of crisis.

UK viewers probably know that already.

This is the 3rd series and I think that each series becomes less realistic and less worth watching.

There are some good actors in this,I don't think Robert Carlyle is very good in this although usually I like his work.

David Haigh is great in this,he plays a right wing loon who sadly reminds me of our current government.

I know governments are made up of people and are therefore flawed but the performance of the characters is even worse than our real governments.

In a previous series we had a senior civil servant from Northern Ireland.

Carlyle plays a Scot who is a tory prime minister.

These appointments are possible but in the real world the top people are more likely to be public school boys or geeks.

So if you are stuck for something to watch you might enjoy this but it is not a great production,watch an ancient Spooks dvd or Utopia or Edge Of Darkness.
