From the London establishing shots, the music and the bizarre first meeting this lumbering tortoise will never overtake the hare. Have seen both James D'Arcy and Charlie Murphy before and enjoyed their work. Here though they are given but scraps to work with, they make headway, but are crucified by the idea of 'interview as exposition'. The first quarter of this series is clumsily burnt with extraneous groundwork. We have a vapid hook at the end, but do not care since after a tortuous episode we have not been invited to invest in these characters.

Just to follow-on what others have said -- the series was horrible, full of plot holes, unlikable characters, shoddy writing, and a ridiculous & telegraphed ending. I also wanted to reinforce another observation: for the plot to work the series has to create the DUMBEST detectives imaginable, not allowing them to have any thought of a forensic examination of phones, emails, laptops or any physical evidence whatsoever. Finally, I get the irritating sense that the writers want us to sympathize with the the sociopathic murderer, who in the end hectors us with this embarrassingly triumphant speech about how "nobody listened to me, now it's my time to speak." Eye-rolling, immature and completely self-absorbed writing.

I felt generous when I gave it 3 stars. A total waste of 4 hours of my life. I won't be watching a repeat. I had no sympathy for any of the characters and frankly wonder why they wasted any time making it! I sat through it only because I'm a companion to someone who's deaf and often needs help with understanding.

This show was a massive waste of time! Made absolutely no sense! It's a show where the cast do things that normal people would never do! Just terrible! It is quite engaging for the first 3 episodes, the last episode is a massive cop out!

I share the reviews already published about the stupidity of this story - especially the ridiculous final episode.

The lead is supposed to be an experienced investigative journalist but made errors that would not be made by such a person in real life.

Like others who have commented, I found the ending simply unbelievable..
