"...After a sitting prime minister dies mysteriously, his charismatic son (Gross) is wooed to take his place, while the investigators begin to expose elements of a far reaching conspiracy...and the son, now prime minister, may have his own hidden agenda. Gripping CBC-TV mini-series is an audacious, apocalyptic, near future political thriller with Shakespearean overtones that sets out to be THE Canadian political thriller...and pretty much succeeds, working in coy echoes of real life Canadian political history so that the extraordinary events don't seem far fetched at all. An intriguing, provocative, challenging thriller, where it takes a long time to even figure out who are the good guys and who are the bad ones, and that tackles serious concerns while still being an edge of the seat, pulpy suspenser. Smartly written with some sharp dialogue, stylishly directed - Ottawa has never seemed so sinister - and well acted, particularly from the central players. Occasionally confusing - sometimes intentionally, sometimes not - and with a downbeat ending, but arguably a one of a kind experience. And more's the pity."
