"A real political disaster played for tragicomic laughs"
Stonehouse retells the almost unbelievable true story of John Stonehouse, a British Labour MP who, drowning in debt and disgrace, staged his own death on a Miami beach in 1974 and tried to start a new life abroad. The three-part miniseries plays the scandal as tragicomedy, mixing dry period wit with real pathos as his scheme unravels. It moves briskly, leans on a strong central performance, and finds dark humor in a man's spectacular self-destruction without ever mocking the people around him.
Matthew Macfadyen's performance turning a real disgraced politician into something both absurd and oddly sympathetic.
you prefer slow-burn character drama over a brisk, compressed three-episode retelling of real events.
