COBRA

You know the UK is in trouble when the Prime Minister assembles his emergency committee—named Cobra—deep in the heart of Whitehall. Scramble with them before an approaching solar storm knocks out satellites and plunges Britain into darkness and devastation. In the agonizing aftermath, how can they keep citizens safe, restore power rapidly and avoid societal collapse, all while knowing that political rivals will pounce on any misstep? Robert Carlyle (Stargate Universe, Angela’s Ashes), Victoria Hamilton (The Crown, Call the Midwife) and David Haig (Downton Abbey, Killing Eve) lead an all-star cast in this “high-octane” (Radio Times) political thriller with “propulsive plotting” (The Telegraph). A huge hit in the UK. 6 hours on 2 discs. SDH
