After a relatively promising start it all goes down the drain. If the intention is to turn a crime thriller into a mediocre soap opera, this is perhaps a success. The characters are so shallow, and the scenes are continuously constructed just like in an old American or Brazilian assembly line series, in particular in the business meeting scenes. The only thing mangling would be someone lurking behind some plant, listening to a secret conversation.
One episode was more than enough. Anna Friel tries her best and is the only on who some how saves the show. It's annoying to see her waste her talent on this. Her agent must be able to find better deals.
