Donald Trump as portrayed by Brendan Gleeson in The Comey Rule.

Don’t watch the first episode of The Comey Rule (Sky Atlantic and Sky Now.) It feel like a bizarre TV movie from the 1980s aimed at people slow on the uptake. (Or Donald Trump voters, if you’re that way inclined.) It even has a sex scene you could watch with your kids. It’s that bad.
