MINISERIES PREMIERE: This three-part drama is exactly the sort of thing that, years ago, would have been a natural as a modern-dress offering by Masterpiece on PBS. Here it is on Amazon, a quality TV miniseries that’s even more proof that streaming services have achieved parity with networks. A Very English Scandal is based on a very real scandal from 1979, when a prominent member of Parliament, played by Hugh Grant, was accused of conspiring to murder his former lover – another man. Stephen Frears directs, and Russell T. Davies, the Queer as Folk writer who also helped push Doctor Who to a new level, adapts the John Preston book.
