The first four episodes are worth eight stars, but the last two drag the series down. All the previous subtlety goes out of the window and we have a scenery chewing villain, and numerous story lines not followed up. It seems that there was a possibility of another series, but that idea was abandoned and the writers told to just finish things up quickly (and unsatisfactorily). It's a great shame because it was an interesting era politically, and the initial four episodes promised much.
