Edge of Darkness - BBC series from Long Ago.

The plot is simple enough, man wants to find out why his daughter died, security services get involved, there are political interests etc. The performances are excellent and the two main leads are super.

The "two guys" characters are also excellent, along with some great passive aggressive remarks.

The same team made another conspiracy-laden TV thriller series about the food industrly, a few years later, but it wasn't nearly as good. No Joe Don Baker, for a start.

The fact that Mel Gibson of all people remaed EoD as a film is the most vomit-inducing of bleak ironies.

His character is also the only cool fictional golf playing character I know of.

The speech the character gave reminded us of the space farming techdudebros...the more things change etc.

The movie sounds like just action and no depth also Mel Gibson can gtfo.
