I actually think the growing presence of Churchill is pretty good, but (minor spoiler) it felt like it was headed for Churchill being Tommy’s endgame antagonist, but then… it wasn’t

Len Deighton’s SS-GB is the most successful example of treating alternate history as a setting, not a genre: a master of the espionage genre weaves a tale through Nazi-occupied London that doesn’t rely on the setting to be interesting, but grabs and uses what’s unique about it. RIP to a great.

I hope Keir Starmer wakes up covered in caterpillars and there are so many caterpillars, he’s telling his wife he doesn’t even know where the caterpillars came from but she’s SO angry at him for the caterpillars and when he tries to eat breakfast caterpillars pour out of his stupid cornflakes box.
