The British have a rich tradition of blundering politicians. Sometimes true, sometimes a little bit true. It is grateful fodder for a number of series, such as Anatomy of a Scandal, A Very English Scandal and The Trial of Christine Keeler. Now there is Stonehouse, about the British risen and self-righteous politician John Stonehouse who becomes a minister with smooth talk.
Author John Preston (A Very English Scandal) turned it into a three-part miniseries. Matthew Macfadyen (Succession, Quiz) plays Stonehouse with conviction. The tone is light and comic and tragic scenes fight for priority. At its core, this miniseries is most similar to the excellent The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe. Stonehouse is a solid drama about a wonderful history.
