Well acted and an interesting plot but let down by the inconclusive final episode. This happens too often in UK tv dramas - scriptwriters have good ideas for a story but don't know how to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

This is one of those series with great acting, red herrings, implausible outcomes that just ends stupidly. Don't waste your time.

On reflection, a few hours after I finished watching this fascinating unpredictable drama, I understand that if it were created by BBC, it would have been a completely different ending wrapped up with a pretty pink bow.

However Channel 4 have created this piece and it does well to represent some of the worst moral panic in our society through non bias and non bias eyes.

The care system and the role of social worker is not represented enough although watching this, you can see why the profession doesn't have flocks of people signing up to join.

The first episode was the best. I was hoping the pace would continue but it got slow and nothing much happened. Sarah Lancashire was the best part of this series. Worth it to watch her but otherwise not much going on. I give it a 4.

Started out strong but then started dragging on in episode #3 out of 4. It could have been wrapped up in three episodes. A shame I liked the beggining a lot
