I'm sure glad I didn't read any reviews before I watched this! I couldn't turn away. I would watch Keeley Hawes wash the dishes, but her performance here was terrific, supported by an amazing cast. As for the writing, I don't understand what's to criticize. Ultimately it was the story of a group of friends and how they respond to an ordeal. The ordeal itself-as stressful as it was-was incidental. I've been in similarly stressful situations and it's true you don't emerge the same person.
Anyway, Ii you're looking for a police procedural, well, this ain't it. Just a thrilling plot and an excellent examination of response to stress.
BTW, I'm American and enjoy watching BBC dramas. Beats the usual crap on American TV by miles. It seems that lot would have appealed much more to many of the reviewers and critics here.
