The fourth season is considerably better than the third. It is, of course, shot in an almost identical, i.e. functional, style and is therefore still the same balanced cocktail. But its set a decade later and it addresses stronger and more intense themes and issues. Namely the "reign" of the Iron Lady and, of course, the swelling problems surrounding Prince Charles and his controversial love life.

My expectations of the fourth season weren’t high. I expected another celebration of a person who I hadn’t been very fond of from the outset, but the creators had a massive surprise in store for me. I find this series impressive for its neutral approach. It looks at things from different angles, and everyone gets their share of criticism (or sympathy). It's impossible not to mention again Gillian Anderson's great performance as Margaret Thatcher, which I really enjoyed. Now I can officially look forward to the fifth season.
