In addition, if the whole point of Jivadi being a mole was to reconcile the USA and Iran, won't having an important Iranian official being assassinated by an American just fuel the fires of the anti-American faction?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. This felt like closure.

No Top of the Lake?

Tēnā koe, bro.

HI PETE

It was less an idea than a regrettable necessity.

You know, I liked The Thick of It as much as the next guy, but Peter Capaldi has actually appeared in roles where he didn't swear constantly. Dozens of them.
