I'm Glad They Went With Straight Drama, Rather Than Political Satire

So far, this is turning out to be a first rate thriller, in my opinion. I have not read the books but I understand that they are political satire. Going the straight drama route has its advantages, particularly when hoping for an international audience.

Oh, and on a very spoilery note re episode 3: Poor grad student Felix Crawford has had himself a rather bad day, hasn't he?

I read the book. It was a thriller not a satire. They have changed a few things but the plot is pretty much the same.

I see, OK. I stand corrected. Thanks for that.
