I enjoyed the first 2 series. Yes they were light and unbelievable as a serious murder mystery series but they were entertaining and i would rate then 6.5. This latest season has been shocking. Poor scripts, more plot holes than a piece of crochet, poor characterisation. This final one in the series was worst of all. Agatha's clothing is inappropriate and her make up is always too much. The Inspector is given a script that is pathetic- whilst it is traditional that the police are never as bright as the private detective this takes it to a whole new level. Sorry but I wont be watching future series.

great cast, some similarities to the Wrong Mans but much better, already starting to put together a great chemistry of characters. Yes the world is going to end, but don't see Bruce Willis coming to sort it out ! a good mix of conspiracy, humour, great characters,both the main and the peripheral (the women prisoners and Father Alphonse), just enough unpredictability without it becoming disjointed even though you are bing introduced to all the main characters Stand out performances for me Matthew Baynton, Gaia Scodellaro, Rob Lowe & Megan Mullally which is good as they are the main characters. A lot of twists and turns in the first episode so my only concern would be whether they can keep up the pace and the quality of the writing and acting If so I might go to a 10!

A very well drawn group of characters beautifully acted by the adults and the kids. Nathan is a child with emotional challenges and the story unfolds as to why this is and how he interacts with everyone around him. In many ways it is difficult to watch as the relationship with his mother is heart-wrenching. Rafe Spall and Eddie Marsan are in unusual roles for them and they carry them well and Sally Hawkins is in a more usual nervy role and her expressions are some of the hardest to bear. The Children are the stars - young Edward Baker-Close (who was present at the showing I went to at a local cinema) say little but emotes by the ton, Asa Butterfield is developing into a fine young actor in this demanding role. The other boys are all well played , especially Jake Davies as Luke but I did feel that the cast had been drawn to make sure there was balanced ethnic representation to balance against the white main players. The girls are slightly caricatured and that is why it got 9 not 10 from me. Anyone with any interest in children on the autism scale or similar personality areas should all watch this one
