I note the generally poor reviews for this series and think that they are wrong. This is a good series and at only three episodes can hardly be described as too long. Having seen footage of the real Melissa Caddick I was struck by how good Kate Atkinson was at playing Caddick. The story of how an intelligent woman, inspired by the infamous Bernie Madoff, was able to persuade all her family, friends and wealthy people she met to hand over all their money for her to invest seems a bit far fetched, but of course it actually happened. How a woman can rip so many people off, particularly her parents, relatives and her best friend is beyond me, but fortunately few of us have that mindset. As well as being entertaining it also serves as a warning to beware of charismatic sociopaths promising the world. Well worth watching, particularly for Kate Atkinson's performance.
