What a beauty!.... This is one series I won't forget... it has a bit of everything, and it does not fail. When it first started, I picked up that this was going to be subtle comedy, and after the first 'departed ', I sat in awe, as I knew this was going to be special, and it was. Well and truly worth the watch...I would put this in my top 10 list. Enjoy, and take it for what it is and you will 'get it'...Excellent

I stumbled on this and really enjoyed it. Black comedy and a good yarn. Good twists towards the end.

Well just when you thought the BBC were spent they hand us this, a great mix of Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot and Hostel.

I feel the show was undersold thus missed a bigger audience but in my opinion was/is one of the (BBC) shows of 2016.

I could be opinionated as I'm from Scotland but the setting is as dreary as it is here.

Can't wait for the third episode as the first two have set the finale up well.

For a change well done BBC.

The characters are supposed to astute businessmen, but their actions are, at best, moronic. They act as if they are dimwitted idiots.

True, they are out of their normal environment, but even that doesn't account for their ridiculous (re)actions.

Add to that the contrived situations that occur and this meager attempt is totally unbelievable.

If it is supposed to comedic - it fails. If it is supposed to be horrific - it fails. If it is supposed to be dramatic - it fails. If it is supposed to be a combination - it fails.

More suited to a Three Stooges movie.

Now imagine if these men were uneducated, bungling criminals that inadvertently stole money from a crime syndicate and were on the run in Scotland. They could act stupid. They could get away with doing ridiculous things. Is the syndicate chasing them? Much more plausible to the idiotic actions. Still wouldn't excuse the the obviously contrived and unbelievable scenes, though.

1. Unbelievable situations. 2. Ridiculous characterization. 3. Boring

Watch it for the acting. The plotting is a bit off - there aren't any hints of the extra woman till the end, and even the "we need to kill everyone off so we have all the money" thing comes in a little too late. But the acting makes it worth it. I really didn't want the throttled bloke to die. The brother in law holds up a scenario that tried for more than it could really make, but it's well worth a watch. And at least Tim and the additional extremely hot woman didn't walk off into the distance or have much connection at all.
