I really enjoyed this. It tugged on my heart strings at times. It had some good twists and turns. Didn't go too long with only four episodes. There was some really good acting, and nothing was far-fetched. Recommend if you're in the mood for a good drama/thriller.
Scientist Yvonne falls for a mystery man whilst answering questions at a Commons Select committee, the stranger would have a big impact on Yvonne's life.
It's starts off very well, and gets better and better, the fourth episode is brilliant, the best of the four.
It's an interesting story, that goes in the most unusual and unexpected directions, you are taken on Yvonne's rollercoaster ride. You will be curious about Yvonne until the last.
The acting is the show's primary strength, Bonnar and Chaplin are brilliant, however Emily Watson deserved awards for her portrayal of Yvonne, she is one of the best, and this highlights how awesome she is.
I would highly recommend this drama. 8/10.

Brilliant. Absolutely one of the best series l have seen in ages. Trouble with watching these high caliber shows is that other shows l watch after doesn't compare. Very few far and between. I just loved it. Excellent writing, extremely talented cast. Highly recommend.
This is not your usual thriller. This is a deliberate psychological drama about how easily one can go down the wrong path. Main character falls into what is a pile of crap and doesn't know it until too late. She is homely and vulnerable. Bad things can happen to good people and one mistake could be too many. The very end is a social study in the human id.
The main thing to know is that Emily Watson is playing the main character. It is a top notch BBC production and a script from a novel that is engaging ,dramatic , suspenseful, unpredictable and well conceived. This 4 part TV series is one of THEE best, if not the best, things I have streamed on TV in the last two years. It is not easy and rare indeed to watch a production that is flawless at every turn in the telling of the story and the acting delivered. I loved it.
