ROADKILL
ON PRIME
3 Spuds

Roadkill is a 4-part dramatic
series that stars Hugh Laurie as
a British Tory politician who
was looking for a big ministerial
promotion but ended up with a
little one.

He has a lot of skeletons in his
closet and has a pesky reporter
on his case trying to prove once and for all just how
corrupt he actually is.

This was written By David Hare, who is one of those
writers who has a pretty good handle on British
politics.

Roadkill was originally produced for Masterpiece,
which, if you like this sort of thing, now has its own
streaming channel that's chock full of solid political
and period pieces.

1 like series like these, because they don’t
necessarily all follow the old formulae. They are true
storytelling, and unfold slowly and deliberately.

Roadkill is not anywhere near the mindless drivel
that make up most of what's available on the
streaming channels.
