This is a good story, but it has a rushed final episode that leaves two important questions unanswered, to its detriment.
The acting, music and script are all excellent. The characters feel fleshed out and real, even if the tennis sequences feel somewhat janky but that can be overlooked given we are watching actors not athletes. Some of the crowd CGI was also a bit ropey (note to directors, it is OK in keeping to close shots). On a personal note, it was great to see David Troughton (always a favourite). Aidan Turner and Ella Lily Hyland put in admiral performances.
The story had a nice twist as you try and fathom out if Justine is being a jealous vindictive person or someone psychologically damaged from a traumatic ordeal. I liked the fact you were guessing up until the end, which brings me to some of the issues with the show.
The character of Polly who was pivotal in bringing down Glenn was introduced in the final episode. That is insane. A better idea would be to bring the mystery of who was Polly earlier on and to play on that theme. It all felt a little rushed. The resolution of the show did not address what happened to Glenn's wife and kids and whether Luisa kept the baby. I presume we, the viewers, just make up our own conclusions. I came away thinking either the show ran out of money or the script writers just wanted a "happy ending" and avoided the issue of whether Luisa had an abortion or not as that was too divisive (so they can sell it to the Americans).
On a side note, IMDB - I don't get your algorithm. For the top cast, Aidan Turner does not even make it into top billing, and he is the second main character. Bizarre!
