    Channel 4's offering on the Brexit Campaign.
    I was looking forward to this from the first ad I saw. It was very entertaining, Benedict once again stole the show (big grá for that him) and very interesting (i'm sure it wasn't all factual).



    It would be god to see something similar for the 2016 US Presidential Race....

    Really enjoyed it.
    I'd say it was more factual than you think.

    I didn't think I would watch it all because I'm so sick of hearing about Brexit but I really enjoyed it.
    i had never heard of Dominic Cummings before...he seems a bit like Steve Bannon,,,A very intelligent and clued in man

    Yes I really enjoyed it too. I nearly gave up after 10 minutes but once I got into it I found it fascinating (and a little scary!)

    It was enjoyable. The Music over the result scene reminded me a LOT of a clockwork orange

    Thanks, must take a look at that.
    I liked the characterization in Uncivil War, he really was single minded in getting this over the line (Dominic). Some great scene's with "the board".
    I would defo watch it again, i assume it can be viewed on 4OD

    Just watched it, apart from being distracted by Cumberbatch's new thinning on top look which means he now looks like my (non existent) brother I thought it pretty good dealing with a subject impossible to fit into two hours minus the ads. Rory Kinnear was super as ever. One day someone will have the luxury of looking back and be able to pen the definitive Brexit mini series - that said it will probably work best as a work of authored non fiction by someone like Adam Curtis.

    From the title I was thinking this might be a Marvel Avengers film. :p
