I really hated the first episode of this series and wrote the following review to reflect my initial impressions:
"Dialogue in this underwhelming series is trite and clumsy. As it falls from its less-than-capable actor's lips I couldn't help rolling my eyes. The acting especially lacks credibility and naturalism so that it really feels like amateur drama. 3 Stars"
I've come back to edit my initial review having now watched the rest of the series. Unbelievably, after that awful pilot episode with some of the most trite writing I've heard from a while I decided to watch episode two and started to get intrigued.
By the time it finished I found it pretty satisfying, which is a long way from assessment. It's not amazing, but neither is it the train wreck I thought it was going to be. Things get interesting when it takes on an element of GRIM, but I already feel like I'm saying too much. If you liked GRIM you'll probably like this.
Great for a rainy day.
