Just So So
It starts off fairly well, but around Episode 4 it starts to go awry. You recognize many of the actors and you love them from their other roles. Lesley Sharp was wonderful in her part, but the character Nina is just not likable or believable, actually she is and you don't like her one iota. Kind of a head case you'd avoid in real life, and scary as a police detective. Bob is just a mess and a waste of a good actor. Loved the German police detectives perfect. The baddie was a great baddie, but you sort of start multitasking as the series goes on. Jed Mercurico could teach these writers a lot. There is a lot of cliché, which is disappointing and generally not what you expect from British crime stories. Great writing, complex layering of story and characters is really missing from this effort. I was stuck in front of the tube due to a storm and it killed time, but not worth the binge.score 5/10
