The entire series is buoyed by its performances. ... But it’s Levieva’s Marina who steals the show, despite being criminally underused, only coming to the fore in the final episode as she demands a public enquiry from the British Government. Litvinenko is far from dull, but that’s less down to the crafting of the series and more due to the riveting story it is telling.

Largely because its arguments have already been persuasively made, and also because there’s been no real justice for the murder of its subject, Litvinenko runs out of steam before it reaches its destination. Still, thanks to a collection of sturdy performances and a clear-sighted recitation of the evidence, it lays bare Putin’s willingness to go to extreme measures to achieve his ends.
