Dreadful... truly dreadful. Always wondered how Pierce Brosnan had managed to make a career out of such limited acting ability, but he surpassed himself with this role. But who on earth honestly thought he'd make a good Ron!!! And how disrespectful to continually hit the audience over the head with explanations of the plot lines... so disappointing given that the book was such a good read!
Terrible episode 1... was going to drop it after 30 mins. Then I read so many reviews saying how good it was! By the end of episode 2 I was absolutely hooked. Episode 3 kept it going, but the ending! What a let down. Having someone basically explain the plot because Gemma Coleman's character only has 20 mins left to work it out, and was getting nowhere! And talking of Gemma Coleman's character... I think it was supposed to be on the lines of Sarah Lancashire's character in Happy Valley... strong woman in a man's world! She failed on every count! Thank god I'd seen her in Doctor Who and The Serpent previously, so did not have high expectations!
The one bright spot for me were the great performances from Laura Marcus and Bo Bragason.

Pretty dreadful... poorly acted, daft plot.... and then announcement of a season 2:-( Seriously, it was a complete waste of Vicky McClure's talents! It's just trying to cash in on the popularity of Call of Duty!
