Press is a six-part British television drama series first aired on the in 2018.
Created and written by Mike Bartlett, the series depicts two rival British newspapers and the lives of their senior employees.
The series was cancelled after one series.
Full of actors I knew nothing of, this hooked me from the start. Probably because of the very British sense of drama. It depicts two newspapers.
The Herald is a left leaning publication, going after ‘worthy’ stories with all the gusto of investigative journalism. The Post is more conservative, focusing on entertainment and shock, with little concern for the truth.
Through a series of news stories, characters plot and scheme to get the story and one over their rival. And at the end, they are just as intractable as in the beginning.
