Absolute Power - Series Two

Absolute Power - Series Two

Welcome to the world of public relations... Where style triumphs over substance, tabloids are the new judge and jury, and five minutes of fame is considered a long-term career. Charles Prentiss and Martin McCabe are masters of the art of manipulation. Supported by a similarly wily and unprincipled team, they have brilliantly steered public opinion towards their loathsome clients. Just as every action has a reaction, for every spin, there's a counter-spin. Nothing is as bad as it seems, nor as good. It's all about making people believe, despite what may be right in front of their eyes.
