Self-importance is the theme of this poorly done, goes-nowhere example of British snobbery in action. Everyone seems more concerned with insulting one another than moving the plot forward. Ben Winshaw gives yet another performance steeped in arrogance, a hero no one could possible like or admire. Didn't make it through the first episode, so consumed with a desire to clobber him. The rest of the characters, save the girl, who seems intent on taking every insult laid on her with proper British fortitude, is the only one who elicits any sympathy, content to be battered around by the idiots she works with. Dominic West must have known what he was getting into, but I wonder if he should have allowed the producers to have him start hitting on the girl as his first and second and third official act. All in all, don't bother.
score 3/10
