Weakest link ruins it
The quality of the first three stories was about as good as I have seen for a miniseries.I found them realistic and dark but in those three stories there was always the unifying theme that some sliver of human decency was struggling to prevail, even in the most inhospitable of environments. It didn't always win, but that struggle was what made the first three stories relatable and linked them together.
The fourth story is completely different. There is no moral struggle. The protagonist acts completely entitled and is even more unlikable than the two yobs at the beginning of the story. Worse, she is just reading the script - there is nothing real for us to see and no soul for us to care about.
Too bad - the first three story lines were very compelling but the ending was so weak and jolting that it ruins the entire effect.
score 6/10
