In times of national emergency, a team comprised of Britain's leading experts, crisis contingency planners and most senior politicians assemble under the name COBRA to form the committee entrusted to protect the people of Great Britain. Set in the heart of government during a major crisis, this six-part drama follows the prime minister and his chief of staff as they are forced to contend with impossible political decisions and their ferociously pressured personal lives, while also being mindful of political opponents who will use any sign of weakness as an opportunity to strike.

Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut While it doesn't hold up to much scrutiny, the answer to HBO's Chernobyl is the kind of earnestly binge-able television we could always use more of. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Anand K Boring show with lifeless characters. There is very little sense of drama, tension or urgency and it appears that all of the cast are on Valium. The Prime Minister in particular is incredibly bland. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/25 Full Review Sandra L B I am always searching, usually fruitlessly, for an ADULT show. I was DELIGHTED to discover COBRA, with interesting plots and characters, including clear, concise and correct ENGLISH dialog. I have been continually annoyed by what appears to be a promising show, only to try it and discover it's in a foreign language without captions. This offers a unique view of the British government, a la the West Wing. Much devious "behind-the-scenes" action! VERY ENJOYABLE!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Think P The premises of the show is interesting and gives an interesting perspective on the government during a crisis. The plot is thrilling, the cast is amazing especially Victoria Hamilton, Robert Carlyle and Richard Dorner. Definitely a must see.
