Title: Roadkill
Review: PBS miniseries on Masterpiece, starring the durable Laurie (late of “House”) as a British Deputy Minister in all kinds of sneaky trouble. Classic dramatic Masterpiece production, as only the Brits can do it, with McCrory (Peaky Blinders) doing a great turn as the Prime Minister, and Knudsen, fresh off her triumph in “Borgen”, as the mistress. Lots of darkness in a very polite way, with some surprising end game. A one shot, four-episode miniseries, that ended a bit abruptly for my taste.
