A family populated with unlikeable characters go on holiday, there's a incident...
Trouble for me was, by the time the alleged incident occurs, which is only minutes into the first episode, I no longer cared what happened.
I persevered, purely because Sheridan Smith always gives good value, however her character, along with pretty much every other, was so deeply unlikeable as to be impossible to empathise with.
The side drama involving Smith's character's sister was utterly pointless and appeared to be there solely to pad the story out to fill four hours.
A shame really, the potential was there for a gripping drama, instead what we ended up with was something that would have been more suited to a four episode Eastenders/Coronation Street storyline.

You don't see Sheridan Smith on TV for ages then she's... yes back again (and on top form), starring in a new 4-parter about a family on holiday in Turkey dealing with the arrest of their 16 year old son for a serious crime.
Written by Danny Brocklehurst who penned the excellent Brassic the opening episode was a confident piece of drama. Production values were good all round, it was well cast the actors were on form and it had a clever score. Great cameo by the Turkish lawyer acting for the family.
It's not going to win awards but overall I really enjoyed the story, it tackles strong and important issues like consent, moral dilemmas and sexual identity, but at the same time it was a thoroughly entertaining drama.

I don't know why I forced myself to watch until the end, but hey no.
MORE, yet more Sheridan smith, are there no other actresses available for drama? That said, she plays the part well but it really wasn't great to watch.
Predictable and pedestrian, not one of ITV's better shows.

A family's worst nightmare becomes a reality, when on holiday in Turkey, their sixteen year old son is arrested for sexual assault.
It's good telly, I don't think you can read to much into how factually correct it is, or whether the characters would behave in the way that they do, some of the behaviour is very odd let's say.
Parts one and four were very good, with plenty of content, the two middle episodes, it's not that they lulled, they felt more like soap opera, the focus was too much on the family's melodrama, and not on the plight of Noah.
The acting cannot be faulted, Sheridan Smith, who seems to be in everything at the moment, puts in a fine performance, you can't fault her character's plausibility. Best of all, Is the central character, Noah, young Serkis is fantastic, he's so capable.
Smith has definitely been busy filming this year, in Eastern Europe for The Teacher, and in Spain filming this.
Genuinely the prison complex is less of an eye sore than the hotel, which is genuinely a hideous Lego block of concrete, it's genuinely as bad in real life.
Let's applaud it for telling a different type of story, the script is questionable, the acting was excellent, 7/10.

I feel I am being generous giving this 5, but it was just about watchable. Very serious flaws, though. Mainly the writing and direction. I find it hard to believe that Sheridan Smith would have willingly performed the role in the way she did. Her expressions in the courtroom scenes were especially poor. The mawkishness of the storylines steadily descended in to ever deeper cringe.
Having written all that, I'm asking myself whether it does really deserve the 5/10. I'd better sign off before I adjust it downwards.
