I can see why people would give up on it too early. It's a very slow burn. Especially for British television, which is often good at truncating things. This feels very American and padded out. Probably it could have been a tight 4 episodes.
However, I did love the ending and thought the performances were solid. Had the pacing been adjusted it might have been an easy 8+.
