The Politician’s Husband is an interesting study of the rivalry
between a political couple, which confirms all our worst fears on the mendacity and
moral depravity of politicians, where even family and friends are no strangers
to treachery.
Great acting but pedestrian plotting and direction just hold it
together over four episodes. A strength is the brutal portrayal of the politics of
marriage and how vengeful misogyny can be found in ‘normal’ relationships,
where sex can be just as much a weapon of vengeance as an expression of
intimacy.
