The structure of the show scenes and the characters is quite unusual. Tom Wilkinson who was one of the forefront characters of the movie and has an extremely decorated mainstream career doesn't have any storyline around him whatsoever. He's just sitting in the cafe for most all of it. He's an old boy now so perhaps it's the limit of what he can do right now but it just feels a little odd. It's better than what I thought and some great additional characters have been introduced but some of the acting from quite established actors is a bit ropey. Not sure if I would want a second season but to be fair I did watch all the way through and found it ok.
