"Absolute power" from the point of view of the public
The series deserved a lot of rave reviews. He, like a good aggressor, captures the imagination. It’s difficult to get rid of him. The plot is abundantly tinted with a variety of humor, right down to black. The life of “cool” PR people is full of events. They communicate with the elite of the London elite, which gives them a feeling of complete emancipation. On this basis, they constantly find themselves in situations that are funny but ambiguous. The film “Absolute Power” also got a lot of critics. They complain about the directness of the scenes, which are akin to a theatrical farce. In principle, it’s even a compliment to the creators of the series, since the idea is to make fun of “cool” businessmen. Their attempts to appear to be rulers of the world and human minds are skillfully laid out into unsightly components. “Absolute Power” - the series is more critical than comic. Just a humorous form more
attractive to the viewer.
Story line
An office in the heart of London City entitles the owners of a PR company to count on a solid clientele. They were not mistaken. The people who come to them are mostly rich, prestigious. But how they promote their customers is a question! Their "blown" skill and pathos clearly demonstrates to the viewer what chaos is going on in this "bright and beautiful" world. The authors' idea to “rip off” beautiful tinsel from advertising was completely successful! Especially successful series with politicians. The "Air Sale", which is carried out by the heroes of the series, in this case emphasizes the distortions of the modern world, the swindle and lies that reign in the fictional world of PR.
What critics say
“Magnificent”, “inimitable” and “sorry” - these are the epithets with which “Absolute Power” has been awarded. Everything raises enthusiasm: the plot, the game, and so on. Especially critics favor James Lance, believing that this hero is an example of comedy. But they do not scold the rest. According to critics, Stephen Fry was successful image of a hard-pressed PR worker. There is no doubt the game of John Bird.

criticism: why the work is finished. Two seasons is too little to get enough of such an excellent job.
