Why did I watch this? Channel 4 and great cast. James Nesbitt has been in some good dramas of late. But. This show involves James Nesbitt meeting a different person each episode, shouting at them, and them giving him some information. That is literally it. The viewer sits passively while they are told or shown "some stuff". Do we care that his daughter died? No. We do not see her or them together at any point. Do we care how her mum feels? No she's in it for 10 minutes. Is there any suspense? No we're just told things in sequence. THERE ARE NO CHARACTERS, JUST PEOPLE SAYING THINGS. THERE ARE NO RELATIONSHIPS. THERE IS NO POINT. It's also hilariously bad at times. The fight scene in the gym had me cracking up.
Have you ever listened to a child tell a story? "And then, and then..." It's that.
Two stars for Nesbitt's eyebrows, the most interesting and compelling thing about this series.
