Reviews (2)
A bit weaker than the last episode, but still quite good. This time, the focus shifted from the personal to the institutional. I genuinely enjoy the intricate system of secretaries and undersecretaries — it always reminds me of the show "Yes, Minister!"

Entertaining, suspenseful, inspiring and healthily critical. Such is this episode, which brilliantly reflects the open scissors between monarchy and democracy. Between traditions that have lasted hundreds if not thousands of years versus modern, dynamic and forward-thinking times.
