The Last Enemy

This is a Masterpiece Contemporary original series (not an adaptation), starring the same actor who plays Sherlock. It is essentially a commentary on how far we should or should not allow our government to collect data on its citizens, the implications of our current war in Afghanistan and terrorism, the evil nature of Big Pharma (similar to the story in A Constant Gardener--one of my favorite movies), corrupt government officials, etc. I thought it was an excellent series and found it on netflix.
