SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Roadkill, this is a sharply observed British political drama where private betrayals and public ambition become inseparable, driven by a marriage under intense institutional pressure.
02
Why this pick
Its propulsive investigation into political power, media scrutiny and compromised loyalties offers the same tense, adult atmosphere and sense that every revelation carries consequences.
03
Why this pick
A more intimate political thriller, centring on an ambitious minister whose rise is shadowed by secrets, manipulation and a tightly wound marital dynamic.
04
Why this pick
For Roadkill's mix of Westminster manoeuvring and looming threat, this conspiracy drama sustains a similarly sober, high-stakes mood around a leader pushed into moral compromise.
05
Why this pick
This compact British drama shares Roadkill's cool, contemporary cynicism: privilege, public narratives and legal pressure collide while characters fight to control how they are seen.

01 / THE STORY
Self-made politician Peter Laurence's life seems to be falling apart – or rather, is being picked apart by his enemies. As personal revelations spiral, he is shamelessly untroubled by guilt or remorse, expertly walking a high wire between glory and catastrophe as he seeks to further his own agenda while others plot to bring him down. However, events show just how hard it is, for both an individual and a country, to leave the past behind. With enemies so close to home, can Peter Laurence ever out-run his own secrets to win the ultimate prize?
