Review

Gareth McLean

Dominic West and Sienna Miller lead this classy, compelling and and unabashedly entertaining legal drama from George Kay, the writer of ITV’s The Long Shadow and Apple TV’s Hijack. The humanity of the former is combined with the latter’s gloss and tension to make this a bona- fide must-see British legal show (the second in a month following the debut of BBC One’s The Split Up; insert your own “like buses” quip here).

Tech titan Morgan Henderson (West) and his film-star wife Carla Duval (Miller) are getting divorced. They have each enlisted arch-rival law firms: in one corner is Cathcart & Sons (Nina Sosanya and a deliciously vicious Pip Torrens) in the other, Taylor & Byrne (James McArdle and Phoebe Fox).

In the middle is ambitious young lawyer Johnny Warren (Archie Renaux) whose aspirations, or perhaps desperation, makes his loyalty subject to transaction. Soon, he is pulled into a cutthroat world of smiling assassins where every conversation feels like a chess move and souls are sold by the billable hour.

Full of swagger, jeopardy and wit, War is more than a legal drama. It’s also a slick and soapy examination of power.
