Driving by their deep will of saving the country from corruption and destruction, Cobra, an organization that consists of a group of politicians and country men, who during the political crisis and unrest in Britain, struggle against saving the country from being destroyed by any means.
As the characters assert themselves, the show exerts a surprisingly tight grip on the viewer's attention, thanks primarily to its gleefully jaundiced portrait of backroom political machinations.
It's fine for the first couple of episodes, which I found I couldn't stop watching because of the sheer torque of any drama that combines this cast with a national disaster, a personal tragedy and a secret fling.
Nevertheless, even though everything moves swiftly indoors, there's enough cash down the back of the sofa for handsome backdrops of Downing Street, Whitehall, an empty London - and, crucially, for a fine cast.
No-one watches disaster thrillers for the dialogue. They are supposed to be cheesy and overblown. What we are here for is the "what if" and the spectacle, and COBRA looks like it will deliver on both fronts.
