What people are saying

The Real Review

People are mostly into "WAR," with its slick look and strong acting carrying the load. The real energy comes from the supporting cast, particularly Phoebe Fox as Serena Byrne and the reliably great Celia Imrie, but the central feud between Dominic West's Morgan and Sienna Miller's Carla is the weak link. The story of rival London law firms is criticized for being too predictable, and the pacing drags it down, especially a slow-burn mole subplot. While the premise of a new legal battle each season has potential, this first case about a messy divorce doesn't feel fresh.
