What is this? This was supposed to be good. First of all Dolly Wells character is so obnoxious, so smug, supercilious, and vile, that it makes this (terrible show) almost unwatchable.
David Tennant is wasted, and his character's decisions are out of context with how any human would behave, ever. This show is based on a feeble, poorly written and utterly absurd concept.
Stanley Tucci, another great actor, fairs better but he's basically playing a "Sherlock" type of character, and the tenuous link to involve him is also absurd.
From the opening scene, a misogynist on a tube train, not necessarily an unlikely character, but the lack of reaction from the other passengers, and the strange response from the victim, strange because she is, by the story unfolding, a hardened journalist that has the financial backing to go to the USA for a questionable story, alarm bells went off that this may not be good.
Can Steven Moffat write female characters? I'm not sure after this, I expected a classic, but as soon as the vicar doesn't expose the perpetrator, like everyone on earth would, all credulity is lost.
This is after only two episodes, so if there is a story arc that blows everyone's mind, then I will apologize to the writer, but right now, it's a mess.
