Rather good. Clever, well written script and three of our finest actors in Bean, Walker and Bolam. Enjoying it so far. It's sort of Jane Austen for this decade.

I like it apart from that bloody "music" blasting out to the left to the left to the middle
I think it must be directing us to the mute button.

I really enjoyed this. It was slow moving, but thats fine. That is how life is. I found it relatable and compelling. I've seen Nope, Bullet train and Everything Everywhere at the cinemas and thought they were all shite and made no sense.

I loved it, apart from the eardrum assault. I especially liked how we didn't need to see what was in the letter.

Yes me too and I rather like the Roomful of Teeth (music) after I got used to the volume increase. At least it's totally different.

Terrible review by Camilla Long in today's Times; I think she misses the point and Sean Bean and Nicola Walker are both brilliant. This is a very clever, very intelligent series.

I am surprised at the lousy reviews. Perhaps it requires a bit more imagination than a spoon fed audience is used to?

I shall be watching the final episode tonight but I think it's been brilliant; clever, original, superb acting.

Well, for me Awards galore and Camilla Long should be fired. Bean and Walker superb but just as good were all the supporting cast. And such a brave idea to show real life as opposed to falling into the trap of turning everything into a fake drama. When a car pulls up outside, you expect (DRAMA) it will be the daughter returning. It's not. When the Dad confronts the slimy Jamie, you expect violence - there isn't any. When he gets a sore leg you expect (DRAMA) a hospital It isn't. Instead you get a very funny gentle Walker line, gently delivered.

Really, this was absolutely superb TV.

Sean Bean has been married 5 times so he has certainly put in the method acting fieldwork...

I haven't seen it yet but it is high on Mrs Wyot's list; so won't be long...

This really seems to divide people but I think anybody who found it boring or hated it can never understand the False Allegations Industry.

Watched it now and thought it was, quietly, rather brilliant. All the plot lines that could (and would have in 99% other dramas) have been went nowhere; like most of life.

We need the Line Of Duties - but also need this.

Apart from that SODDING music; just awful, different maybe, buy no need...!

Quite interesting in that this thread was started a month ago; the series ended weeks ago yet thanks to iPlayer it is still being watched and this thread now has had 37,000 views.
