Plot: The story of the determined Scotland Yard Officers who worked to prove who was responsible for the death of Alexander Litvinenko, in one of the most complex and dangerous investigations in the history of the Metropolitan Police.
The Litvinenko Mini-series was Great.
Pros: This series was both emotional and personal. I was surprised how much Putin played a role in this story. The script was well done. I was routing for Marina Litvinenko to get some Justice for her late husband and David Tennant did a great job portraying Alexander Litvinenko, just in the first episode.
Cons: At times the dialogue was hard to understand and each episode of this series were shorter that I was expecting.
