Judge lest ye be judge. But in this case . . .

If it's a new use then they have had a boring relationship.

What are you doing here? You are supposed to be at my house. Chop, Chop!!!

Me, too. While the other characters are very interesting as is the writers set-up as to the political scene, for me personally it becomes something I do not have as invested of an interest. I guess with Viktor, while he is a gay character, again he is an underground, hiding personage. It is almost like television just finds it so difficult to have a fully evolved gay character that can stay an integral part of the plot for long. I guess perhaps it is too hard to accept that gay people can be boring and accepted.

The fourth episode was very depressing and I was disappointed in one aspect. The quality of the production has stayed high. The Edith Lyons (Jessica Lynes) character especially has a really wonderfully acted scene where she basically threatens her sister's new boyfriend in an attempt to protect her. It is really chilling. And more despair arises as the Viv Rook (Emma Thompson/Donald Trump) character becomes Prime Minister and the U.S. is thrown out of the United Nations after it performs several anti-humanitarian deeds. Now, SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO LEARN AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE PLOT. So, as they reveal in the trailer for the episode Daniel (Russell Tovey) concocts a plan to bring his boyfriend Viktor back from mainland Europe without a passport. This obviously involves a great amount of danger and money. However, this has been only been the 4th episode in which Tovey has appeared and he has been a key and enjoyable character. So I did not think he would be removed so early. I am not exactly sure why this had to happen. To have a fully functioning gay character in a drama of import was a boon. Oh, well.
