8/10
It had my very impressed but some continuity problems I am afraid.

Well I enjoyed it but it had me scratching my head and I think the continuity slipped up. I love Gillian and although she came under criticism for talking in a whisper, and presenting as a strong bi-sexual woman, a misogynistic theme, well it was.

I watched the DVD series several times, as I wasn't sure who was responsible for killing DS Olsen, and Olivia seemed to age incredibly in the third series. Also Spector was supposed to go to Scotland. Well Belfast is across the Irish sea from Scotland, and you can't drive or get a train there. If he went to Scotland as was suggested, he must have lied.

But it kept my interest throughout, and I thought the acting was good, but the script had some continuity problems. After all one has to say ' it is fiction' or 'just a film' but the time period was set over say four months from Sarah's murder, and Olivia must have grown a foot at least. The ending, well it was not a trial and retribution series. Paul/Peter was going to win and escape Gibson's wrath, and he did. Destroying Katie, Sally and all those that he influenced and murdered. I don't know what happened to Liam? Does anyone or his mum Sally, who should not have been charged with interferring with justice. She came clean in the end, but trying to kill herself and her children, bit like Medea. But it is only a film.
