I was looking forward to this and really expected to enjoy it as I've liked other BBC TV adaptations of past. However, this one just fell well short of expectations unfortunately. Let's break down why:
1. The acting is not good by and large, even the respectible actors pull in a below than average performance.
2. The budget seems really low, even for the BBC. Everything looks cheap and amateur.
3. The story. It really felt more of a pantomime than a murder mystery and apparent social commentary. There were some scenes that were genuinely laughable for all the wrong reasons.
All in all, very disappointing, such a shame as was expecting much better.
