Fagan (S04E05)

I felt a slight dissatisfaction with the balance between the war conflict and Michael Fagan's storyline, even though I get that he was supposed to be a symbol for the unemployed masses. Gillian Anderson's presence, however, continues to be a highlight for me. Unlike some Britons, I'm glad that Margaret Thatcher stayed in office for so long, at least I still have something to look forward to:-) (2021.02.11)

Michael Fagan's troubles are portrayed with perhaps more veracity and urgency than he himself. Situations that an awful lot of people around the world have to deal with. The traditional inflexibility and inability of the authorities to change anything. Apathy, routine and the daily hell of the poor in a country with high unemployment. And as expected, the conversation between the Queen and the intruder has a very interesting dynamic and course. An unusually suspenseful and refreshing episode. (2023.02.18)
