It's almost as if you've become a part of his schemes just from watching it and it's like he reminds you of this through the show making you feel guilty by association.
Easily the best piece of acting I have ever seen on TV by anyone.

Absolutely a point I make later in the series, when he frowns at the camera and says something like "No point feeling guilty now. You knew what you were getting into." Stellar acting, excellent series. Such a terrible loss to the acting world. I haven't seen the US version but I can't think it'll be a patch on this classic. Just watching it again for the reviews makes it worth it, if nothing else did. One of the best political TV drama ever, with "A very British coup" and "GBH".
