While watching series 1, the word McGuffin kept creeping into my mind...
McGuffin def.: an object or device in a movie or a book that serves merely as a trigger for the plot.
At first I wanted more details of what was driving the action, who was behind it, what was on the damn disks! But it turns out that the disks, and the mystery criminal behind it all -- whatever "all" was -- was a McGuffin the best sense of the word. Whatever was on the disks-- we never find out and don't care a fig about finally. It is a character-driven show with action, suspense, surprises-- what more do you need from a 3-episode series that keeps you glued to your seat?
