This series is a strange one . It's fairly predictable and throughout you feel that the tension and intrigue could and should have been ramped up a few notches to make better use of the lead characters abilities .
The story plodded along as you waited for it build up which never happened but as everyone was introduced the plot still lent itself to wondering where they'd come from and what would happen to them .
Unfortunately the final episode was more like a documentary recording what happened than a dramatic conclusion . One surprise was Simone turning up with a chunky cheque just as you thought the family would be slipping back into poverty but of course it was a sadly cliched surprise.
