Jan 12, 2015Unique, witty fast-paced dark British humor. The beautiful Brit Marling has a fascinating on-screen presence as the only American in the cast. British friends who have seen the series on BBC note that the last three episodes are thrilling cliff hangers, extremely well-executed as they move from the comedic to the dark. Looking forward to seeing them.

Danny Boyle--but more so his co-creator Robert Jones and executive producer-lead writer Jesse Armstrong--has created a layered analysis of a failing system, and, true to its satirical inception, he doesn't let anyone off the hook.

Though Babylon is pleasant and reasonably well executed, there's not too much to grab on to at the center of the drama; it makes moves toward engagement of knotty issues, only to ultimately skate along their surface. But Nesbitt is typically excellent and the show's depiction of London, its cops and its cynical politics can be diverting.

A pretty gritty and compelling drama.
