I was there. A true early adopter, ‘scrolling’ the menu, talking about shows in terms of ‘seasons’ and ‘narratives’, shunning terrestrial as if it were some blowsy old lover who’d gone to seed.
For the first year after its UK launch in 2012, only offered an occasional diversion from my regular homespun viewing. But then, on 1 February 2013, season one dropped. And everything changed. For ever.
The super-smart political thriller may have been on my small screen but its impact was cinematic. The opening credits (which you could skip if you so desired – how about that!?) were a little arthouse movie in themselves. The series starred proper Hollywood actors and the story was utterly compelling: ruthless pragmatism and manipulation, libidinous cigarette smoking, betrayal and corruption. ]
