This miniseries is talky and dense, and the material is fascinating for politics junkies.

What was surprising was how much of a high-octane rollercoaster the first episode was.

As volatile, womanising FBI agent John O'Neill, [Jeff Daniels] no less all-American but revelling in a foul-mouthed, all-guns-blazing role taken from the sort of real life that's stranger than fiction.
