Only just watching this now on Netflix. Didn't see it first time round on the BBC.
The first couple of episode were ok-ish, but very quickly the series has descended into over-acted, absurdity.
I've got to give the show credit for finding some wonderful locations, but really when the locations are the best thing about a program that is hardly a recommendation.
I've reached the point where I can't bear to watch any more. The Maggie character (Caroline Quentin) is so awful I'd be quite happy for her to become the victim of a gruesome murder.
What it most reminds me of is TV dramas of the 1960s with very theatrical style of acting. Alan Davies doesn't fall into this style, to his credit, but this just emphasizes the caricatures that everyone else is playing.
It's obvious from many reviews that it is a program with an appeal to some, but definitely not to me.
