Cobra

In the latest episode of COBRA, Prime Minister Robert Sutherland speaks to his people in the Red Zone in the north, where water and hope are in short supply. Will he be able to keep his promise to get the lights back on? Meanwhile, his enemies join forces to bring his government down.

In the second episode of COBRA, we see what happens the first night following the devastating effects of the electromagnetic storm that's hit Britain.

"We can get through this together if we remain strong and work together," says Prime Minister Robert Sutherland (Robert Carlyle). 

A great cast led by Robert Carlyle as Prime Minister Robert Sutherland and a tight script by Ben Richards (The Tunnel, MI-5) makes for a gripping and frightening first episode of COBRA,  a series about the impact of an electromagnetic storm on the world.

What's coming to the U.S. in British TV in October? Let's run down the list of titles arriving this month, from PBS Passport to BritBox.

Political drama COBRA arrives on PBS this October and, if the first trailer is any indication, it's going to feel uncomfortably timely for many of us.
