A love story set in one of the most explosive political times in U.K. history, this 6-part series for Sky Atlantic tells the story of a 1970s London couple who liberates a political prisoner and forms a radical underground cell. The group targets the Black Power Desk, a true-life counter-intelligence unit within Special Branch dedicated to crushing all forms of black activism. Though set against a backdrop of social upheaval and activism, the story focuses on the relationship between the two characters at its centre. (Dazzler Media)

Truth be told, I made it through about 4 episodes, and I was struggling to finish it. I wasn’t impressed by this series at all. Directing, acting, and story-wise an absolutely exemplary mediocrity. During the series, I actually had a feeling as if my brain was covered in fog. I didn’t care about the whole story; no emotions arose in me. This is probably not how a series I’m supposed to spend several hours watching should look like.
