I enjoyed this series, or is it a mini-series?
It's an interesting story. I won't give it away.
The production is very well executed. Good use of available light and normal locations. The acting is very good. Everyone really seems to be living their roles convincingly.
There are a few places I thought the plot kind of faltered.
It should have been either more believable or generated more intrigue. But instead it did neither, opting for a more emotional outcome. Or at the very least kept our protagonist in play.
For example, I would really have enjoyed a bit more detective work and shaking down the bad guys. Finding out more tantalizing clues that lead to more revelations. I enjoy watching crime dramas and cop shows for that aspect. Like the Mike Chiklis show The Shield.
This series has some of that rotten cop aspect but they don't explore it very much. I also wish that they had explored a bit more of the female co-star's life while all this is going on. She is actually the protagonist. And Simm's character would be better described as the anti-hero. Overall pretty good, darn site better than most American TV these days which is all about explosions and cliff hangers.
