TV review: I was glad to see the closing credits of Mountainhead

We don’t need a telly drama to tell us that super-rich white American nerds are a danger to the planet, we can get that from the news.

There are some very funny bits in Mountainhead, but our reviewer was glad when it finished.

I was in two minds about Mountainhead (Sky Atlantic and NOW). Every now and again I wished this movie was a series but mainly I was glad that I didn’t have to spend more than 90 minutes with the main characters.

I wanted it to be a series because it’s directed by Jesse Armstrong, who was involved with The Thick of It and Succession, two of the best 21st century telly satires. But this one is about four super-rich tech titans, awful men who are happy to set the world on fire as long as their net worth is bigger than the next guy.
