Rachel Cunliffe • New Statesman • Jan 8, 2025
"...a series which, it feels, no one wanted to have to make. Renton goes back in time to trace the history of Pie – its tactics, infiltrating youth groups and civil rights movements dedicated to social change, and efforts to push its agenda into the political mainstream. In the present, he’s still investigating the mysterious list. His tone is measured, devoid of emotion, as the grimmest details emerge. There is no sensationalism. It’s a bleak, bitter way to kick off the new year. But it’s also impossible not to listen."
