Enjoyable but over-hyped
I did enjoy this, but not as much as I expected from the other reviews.
It just feels that based on: Stephen Graham Ashley Walters Young lead Single shot episodes Shocking storyline We are MEANT to be impressed and it's popular to like these things. It doesn't automatically make it great entertainment though.
It was okay, but certainly not a 10/10. The acting was great in places, but wooden in others. The scenes were gripping at times, but soon because drawn out. The storyline was important and upsetting, but often unbelievable. The directing was clever, but unnecessary for the majority.
It felt like an experiment by the director and a bit amateur at times. It's worth a watch, make your own mind up.
