The Undeclared War

Let me start by saying that I admire Peter Kosminsky's work. Wolf Hall garnered much praise and I thought that The Promise was one of the best things I have ever seen on television. So I had very high expectations of this series.

By that benchmark this was a disappointment. Yet the storyline is ingenious, depicting terrifying events that might just be plausible and certainly act as a timely warning in this world of fake news and cyber warfare. So why the disappointment? I have a few quibbles, such as the sudden ending and the self-blame by the main character ringing false. But in reality it is because I wanted to watch a series that merited a score of 10, not a 7!

I will hope for something truely outstanding from Mr Kosminsky with his next venture ....
