I just wrote a review, which you unfortunately don;t get to see for a couple of days. In short, I thought this was excellent, well acted, entertaining, interesting, and thought provoking.
Here's to hoping to see more programming as good on cable.

I didn't like it, though it's hard to pinpoint why. I just thought it was a bit of a mess.

I thought it was captivating, and the quality was good. It actually exceeded my expectations, and reminded me of the quality of BBC productions. (Canadian productions seem to be notoriously lame.)

Excellent acting from Rupert Penry-Jones, Marc Warren, et al.

I really enjoyed it. I thought part 2 was the better part.

I agree, part 2 was better.

I really enjoyed this made-for-tv movie. With the world trying to be more green-friendly, it's great to see the political innuendos in action (especially in part 2). It's great to finally see a thought-provoking subject in todays news from many different point-of-views. Although part 1 was interesting in itself, it helped lay the ground work of vital information that would play into part 2, where most of the action takes place.
It's programs like these that make me proud to be Canadian.

It's nice to see handsome Rupert Penry-Jones in something else other than his dashing role as Captain Wentworth (Persuasion).
