Mostly negative reviews?[edit]

The implication that the series had "mostly negative reviews", seems wrong to me. The Irish Times called it hugely watchable, Irish Independent called it great television, NME gives it 4/5 stars. I think the reviews should be called "mixed", but not "mostly negative". 78.18.254.195 (talk) 13:43, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. 31.187.2.1 (talk) 16:55, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have given a bit more balance to the reception section, and found a very good BBC article on its critical reception (that reviews all the early reviews), also calling it "mixed". (BBC News) This England: Critics mixed over Kenneth Branagh's portrayal of Boris Johnson. 78.18.254.195 (talk) 10:57, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

first child with his then partner[edit]

"first child with his then partner, Carrie Symonds" gives the impression she is no longer his partner. Technically she has a new surname and is now his wife but I think better wording could be used here to make it clearer. Seeking consensus before editing. It could also be interpreted that this was his first child regardless of partners which would be incorrect. Hope to help. Mdinamanor (talk) 23:56, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
