The show hosts a fantastic female cast including Maxine Peake playing Sam, the manager of the family business and Susan Wokoma playing investigating officer DI Eve Preston
What to Watch described Peake as leading a ‘top-notch cast’ in the four-part thriller.
Peake spoke to Radio Times about the female characters in Rules of the Game, ‘They were complex and they were funny – there’s a seam of dark humour I think that runs through it which really appeals to my sense of humour.’
