Came across 'Hidden Assets' after enjoying 'Acceptable Risk' on (Prime) Acorn.
Great production, was made even more enjoyable by the Irish / Belgium co-production of the series.
Good (optional) subtitles for the hard of hearing, although, giving deference to American spelling of English I can put up with, I draw the line at the insistence of the subtitle use of 'mom' when the actor has clearly said 'mum'.
But, what I found most frustrating about the screening on Acorn, and which I found very puzzling, was that there was no subtitle translation when the the Belgium characters spoke in Flemish, especially as there were more and more important scenes involving Flemish as the series progressed, making it hard to discern what was going on!
However, I read that the programme had been shown, in the past, on BBC, and found out that the whole series is available on BBC iplayer, accessed it there, and, low and behold, it comes complete with subtitle translation of the Flemish, as well as the option for subtitles for the hard of hearing, meaning that I didn't miss a single turn and twist of the dialogue of this many nuanced, excellently executed, highly enjoyable, suspense filled production!

Missed this series when it was originally broadcast back in 2003.
Came across it today when Series 2 Episode 1 was automatically recorded in the 'Suggestions' folder.
Wanted to watch the two episodes of Series 1. Looked under 'Episodes'. From there 'On demand' link was on (Amazon) Prime, but turned out to be a different programme, Blue Murder (miniseries), a 1995 Australian mini-series (1 series of 2 episodes), set in Australia.
If you want to watch the 2003 series with Caroline Quentin, it is currently (June / July 2022 on) available on ITV hub. Well worth the watch!

Avatar is one of the best cinematic experiences we've ever had so far – and, as regular cinema goers, we've had a lot of very good ones! It is an incredible movie with amazing visuals – try to see it in an IMAX cinema if you can, at least once, (even if you have already seen it in a regular cinema) to get the full effect! (BFI IMAX at Waterloo in London has extended the screenings of Avatar now until 10 July 2010. See their Website for details and to book.)
My son and I went to see Avatar at the British Film Institute (BFI) IMAX at Waterloo, here in London in January as a delayed Christmas treat, and we have been back since! It is truly, breathtakingly, awesome! A great film to see on any cinema screen - the CGI is out of this world - but imagine it filling a screen more than 20 metres high (That's nearly the height of five double-decker buses stacked on top of each other!) and 26 metres wide. With 11,600-watts of digital surround-sound and the most sophisticated motion-picture projection system in the world – we literally felt like we were 'in the picture'!
The story line, although transposed to another location, is very poignant and relevant to our times, and a warning to us today, as well as for the future. It evolves with sensitivity as the main protagonists' backgrounds are revealed, as they come to terms with the changing circumstances situations, and as the plot moved towards its conclusion.
A heartfelt thanks to all involved in the making of truly remarkable movie: we love it! And I'm sure that you will enjoy it too, and be uplifted! - And also be profoundly moved, and left with plenty to think about too, maybe even taking some positive actions as a consequence of what you have learnt, or because of what you have become more acutely aware of.
