I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Dennis Kelly's Utopia and The Third Day, Paolo Sorrentino's The Young Pope/The New Pope, or possibly Tom Rob Smith's London Spy, The Assassination of Gianni Versace, or MotherFatherSon. The slightly surreal heightened stuff with kickass writing crowd. [grin].

All the Hugo Blick fans have mostly be waiting for The English ever since the first BBC press release on the series was issued, because we've all seen The Shadow Line (Roku, Hoopla, Pluto), The Honourable Woman, and Black Earth Rising (Netflix), and we know that if Hugo Blick's writing it, what it's going to be.
