Purefoy is excellent, I've been a fan since Rome. The supporting cast is also excellent, Creed-Miles does a fantastic job of being completely horrible, you truly relish hating him.
It's well plotted and written, the dialogue and exchanges are sharp and spot on, all in all a really well done series, I am looking forward to a possible second series if they decide to produce it.
Now for the caveats ---SPOILER WARNING--- The show was perfect up til the final reveal where they butchered the explanation and timelines. The CC coverage was established for the area, so there would have been footage of him entering the hotel and leaving TWICE, which would have been a flag, also every time an electronic door is accessed on a hotel room, it logs the open and close as well as the interval between and associates it to the key, so there would have been a clear log showing him returning, and the time, then leaving again. I assumed this wasn't brought up earlier because the "actual killer" was a professional that altered or modified the logs, this wasn't the case and there was no opportunity to fix the logs.
All in all it was a shame that an otherwise brilliant series fell apart at the end with a poorly thought out explanation.
