剧情介绍
改编自Tome Sharpe的小说《Porterhouse Blue》
In late-'80s Britain, Porterhouse College Cambridge is an anachronism, its students uniformly male and (in the vast number of cases) privately educated. When the incumbent Master dies (from a stroke brought on by overeating) the government revenges itself on Porterhouse by appointing as his successor an old graduate, the politician Sir Godber Evans. One of the tiny minority of state-school students the college has had forced on it over the years, Evans returns to his alma mater determined to drag this bastion of privilege into the twentieth century. The elderly academic staff cease their bickering and close ranks against him, but the new Master finds his most implacable and unscrupulous opponent in Skullion, the college porter.
最终竟还是在tube上看的 小时候或许会喜欢这种锐利的美式讽刺作品尤其是最后两集对新闻界的讽刺，后来为什么不喜欢了呢大概是因为发现里面被讽刺的人多数是价值观和我差不多的。从第一集就觉得这会是一部要见血的狠剧（和ian richards演的纸牌屋一样），先是觉得可能很快skullion就要死掉，后面对悲惨小人物zipster的情节累计越发明显就猜到他可能会成为改革的牺牲品。最后新校长莫名死掉真是巧妙的一个回转 自由派心中最糟的结果：“英国在怀旧假象和保守粪坑中自我循环”
