This is a slow moving crime drama, worth the watch. It has an Hitchcock feel to it.

Started with the promise of plenty of suspense in the first two episodes.However the climax was totally unbelievable and lacked any logic. Also I think it could have been filmed in just two episodes and not as three. I now regret having wasting my time watching this series. A disappointment as it started so well.

My main problem with this is the main character. Totally unlikeable, you don't really care about her and her problems and you don't feel good for her when things work out OK. That is quite important in a show like this, although yes they obviously wanted the viewers to question her and not be quite sure about her personality and motives but you end up not routing for her at all. It's almost a really bad message because it all works out for the woman and she is a complete nightmare, just less of a nightmare than the other. The show was OK but if you don't like or care about the main characters it is tough and the likable characters (the men) were secondary in the story and both lose out. Not bad but seemed rushed at the end too with a very dodgy finish.

***MINOR SPOILERS IN THE LAST PARAGRAPH!***Some stupid people get tricked by a loony!Three episodes of stupid people making remarkably stupid decisions... but don't skip episode 3 because the most stupid things happen at the end.If you were to think of the dumbest people in the UK and put them in a 3-part suspenseful TV show, you'd do well to give this lot of clowns a good once-over. These people are REALLY dumb!Look - I get it... TV drama is a business and you have to play to the crowd... but even young people couldn't possibly fall for this ridiculous rubbish, surely? Please tell me I'm right. Please tell me the human race isn't going down the toilet and that it's just the morons in charge of commissioning TV programs! The BBC claimed that almost 6,000,000 tuned in to watch this so what am I missing that they are seeing?It's possible that this is some kind of experiment, where the writers try to get people to say "Why the bloody hell did you do that?" at the TV screens. It's NOT possible that this dreck could ever be taken seriously as drama. I think I can understand why there are only TWO reviews (so far) for this. Stupidest of all was husband Ian, who, despite being some kind of psychotherapist from a family of physiotherapists, wouldn't recognize reality or reason if the words were written on a brick in big letters and thrown at him. His level of stupidity makes goldfish look self- aware!I suppose if you're a twelve-year-old girl and just growing out of comics like Bunty and Jackie, this may attract your attention.The acting was fine (Vicky McClure was exceptional) and the direction and scenery were nice - but the story was just about the dumbest thing I have seen this year... although, I must say... the razor blade nightmare scene was good... but how did Ellen know that the baby was in the library? And why did the cops arrest Paula and NOT Ellen? I could reel off another 20 questions about plot holes, but I'm bored now!
