Interesting concept but the acting talent (Vicky McClure) is absolutely wasted on the dire script. Every line of dialogue is obvious, lazy and sounds almost like it was written by someone's child on their work experience. The characters don't feel real or believable because every single line is written to get the story from A-B-C rather than to tell us anything about the character. Like at a certain point in the script we are asking 'why was x character being so secretive?' so now another character has to ask this exact question out of nowhere. All tell and no show.

I made it through the first episode only but there's no way I'm going to make it through the rest. Really such a shame as this could have been far more interesting if better executed.
