Everyone's performance is great. Soundtrack - tick. Script and dialogue - good. Locations and cine - excellent.
But sometimes the some of the parts is disappointing. I'm clearly not the only person that thought pacing and timing was an issue here. In the end, for me, the drift away from a solid murder mystery with heaps of personal skin in the game simply got sidetracked by fancy footwork in the form of historical and personal flashbacks. Such an unnecessary distraction from outstanding acting and a solid premise.
Also - hair and wigs. A small detail but if your plot is invested in hair (and this plot definitely is), then blow your budget on it because otherwise you've got me having a giggle at all the wrong moments.
