The Comey Rule made its long-awaited US TV debut this week, but did it live up to expectations?

Jeff Daniels plays former FBI director James Comey, but given that the drama is based on Comey's memoir A Higher Loyalty, it has been criticised for being overly sympathetic to him.

All eyes were arguably on Brendan Gleeson, who plays Donald Trump, but his performance has received mixed reviews.

Jennifer Gannon and Joe O'Shea gave their thoughts in our weekly TV slot.
