The performances of Bean and Graham are, even though we have come to expect brilliance from them both, astonishing. So, too, are those from everyone in smaller roles, none of which is underwritten or sketchy, and who thicken the drama into something more profoundly moving and enraging at every turn. Time well spent.

We learned far more about Bean’s character than Graham’s. McGovern didn’t reveal his hand – we know that Eric will be forced to compromise himself in an attempt to save his son from harm, but we don’t know how Mark will be drawn into that. It’s not going to end well, is it? But at least we get to watch two actors at the very top of their game.
