-
Despite Kenneth Branagh’s brilliant transformation into Boris Johnson, This England takes too much time rehashing the beginnings of the response to COVID-19 as if they were 20 years ago instead of something that, even though it was almost four years ago, still feels like it happened yesterday to most of us.
-
Even if unintentional, the show is all about Boris Johnson, and the great problem with Branagh's performance is that it’s simultaneously a fairly poor impression and an enormously distracting one.
-
The show tries to build a sense of urgency through a score (by David Holmes) that thrums under the dialogue, use of real-life news reports, and figures on screen showing the rising numbers of Covid cases. Yet it doesn’t work when it’s paired with this living, breathing version of Spitting Image.
