Rueben's Ramblings

The PBS series Roadkill will debut on November 1 at 9 PM.

This new political thriller focuses on Peter Laurence (Hugh Laurie), a self-made forceful and charismatic politician whose public and private life seems to be falling apart – or rather is being picked apart by his enemies. As the personal revelations spiral, he is shamelessly untroubled by guilt or remorse, expertly walking a high wire between glory and catastrophe as he seeks to further his own agenda while others plot to bring him down.

The cast includes Helen McCrory and Ophelia Lovibond.

Here is a trailer for Roadkill:
