BABYLON
(BRITBOX)
This 2014 one-series wonder was created by an extraordinary coming together of talents.
Succession showrunner Jesse Armstrong and his longtime writing partner Sam Bain worked with director Danny Boyle to make a massively ambitious satirical drama that takes a scalpel to the entire institution of the police force. Tonally, it’s the closest show Armstrong has made to Succession, with each hour-long episode exploring the egomania of those in power, and the bizarre minutiae of daily life at all levels of law enforcement. And what a cast: The OA’s Brit Marling plays an American brought in to handle the force’s PR, and there are juicy roles for James Nesbitt, Daniel Kaluuya and Nicola Walker.
