I've found The Honourable Woman profoundly irritating and earnest. It really is pleased with itself. And slow, Jesus, if they didn't spend so much time on lingering shots of vases or cups of coffee or other twaddle that is meant to add mood and significance they could have got through it in four episodes.
Stephen Rea is pretty good but the main character is so dull, she's the least interesting person in the story. I don't know if it is the effort of doing the English accent that makes her speak in such an understated, drippy and monotonous way or if that is just what passes for 'good acting'. She's insufferable.
It's not as meretricious as the West Wing (but then what is?) though it's not far behind.
