Nov 1, 2020Interesting political drama that doesn't conform to stereotypes. Hugh Laurie is great and he's ably supported by an excellent cast. It could maybe have been one episode shorter but overall worth sticking with it.
Awards & Rankings

Much of the show’s appeal lies in its embrace of the familiar. The gruff, macho newspaper editor (Pip Torrens); the fragile, neglected wife (Saskia Reeves); the chafing, unsatisfied mistress (Sidse Babett Knudsen)—we know them well. But Hare, dazzled by the buffet of tropes available to him, can’t keep himself from loading up his tray. ... What kept me watching was Laurie.

Written by playwright/screenwriter David Hare ("The Hours"), "Roadkill" has an understated quality to it, with Laurie at his best as the oily politician.

As soapy as Roadkill is, it has a great cast going for it, led by the always watchable Hugh Laurie. In fact, Laurie is the entire reason to watch this pulpy miniseries, just to see if his character can outrun everyone trying to bring him down.
