Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

buddleja Here is British humour at its very wittiest and cutting.The machinations of the team at Prentiss McCabe are a joy to behold as they spin the latest challenge.The dialogue is edged with a delicious sprinkle of smugness. Not that you'd like to meet any of these people - they're utterly self-serving, and are a sharp reflection of the slick wheelings and dealings, counter-dealings, backstabbing, Machiavellian world that I could only imagine might take place in such a real world business.I came late to this series, only discovering it last year and, I can thoroughly recommend it. Like Fawlty Towers, the limited production of episodes will ensure this remains a classic.

jamesmoule "Absolute Power" reminded me of a cross between "Yes Minister" and the Australian series "Frontline". All three series are essentially concerned with spin. Only the people responsible for the spin are different (politians, media presenters, PR consultants). All three series are very funny but I rate this series as the third of the three. The casting is brilliant. I can't imagine anyone performing the roles of Prentiss and McCabe better than Stephen Fry and John Bird. The plot lines are also very well thought out but the script writing is not of the same standard as the other two series I have mentioned. In the first series, "Country Life" is not as well done as the others. There is a recurring problem of episodes ending "up in the air" with the resolution of the dilemma unclear but imagined. The percussion accompaniment to some dialogue makes the words difficult to understand. That said, I found myself chuckling quite often. I'll certainly remember some of the lines.

UncleRiotous Set in a PR company who will attempt to spin anything in any direction I really believe this is one of the best television comedy series I've ever seen. Sharp, witty, fast paced and really very, very funny. The scripts are as densely packed as Fawlty Towers and repeated watchings are rewarded with new insights and ideas that were missed first time round. If you blink you're guaranteed to miss something. Charles Prentis is superbly portrayed as a man with no scruples or morals whatsoever by Stephen Fry and John Bird, Zoe Telford and James Lance make a supporting cast to die for.The other thing that makes Absolute Power so unusual is that the second series is as good as the first series. It covers topics as wide ranging and ridiculous in their scope and does so with such a slick style that you're often really not sure what's going to happen until the very last moment.

Dawnfrancis This really is an excellent series.Set in the murky world of PR,it brilliantly sends up the world of celebrity and political spin. Wickedly funny and all too true to life. Originally a radio series for BBC R4,it has successfully crossed over to the small screen.
