• Plot: Ian Richardson ('From Hell', 'M. Butterfly') leads an all-star cast in this malevolent satire of greed, corruption and ambition in the highest realms of government. As Machiavellian monster Francis Urquhart, he schemes and backstabs his way to the top until he is standing on a pile of broken promises, betrayals and the bodies of those who oppose him.; ; All the while, Urquhart lays out his plans with horrifying wit and venomous charm. But the unflappable politico may have made a deadly mistake when he made young journalist Mattie Storin his dupe.; ; Brilliantly adapted by Andrew Davies ('Pride and Prejudice', 'Bridget Jones's Diary') from Michael Dobbs's best-selling novels, this satirical trilogy took home a primetime Emmy, a Peabody, two British Academy Awards and a Writer's Guild Award.
