I started watching this on a whim.
The first episode was pretty much a run of the mill Brit Copganda slop but Kelly MacDonald and Kate Dickie kept me hanging on and the final sequences of E1 really hooked me.
I am two episodes into the show and it has been great. I am curious as to where it will go.
I highly recommend it, if you are looking for something to watch.
OMG he was in Downton Abbey. I totally did not recognize him with beard!
Yeah same—it was so weird because I expected him to be posh and clean shaven, not scraggly curmudgeon wearing a scratchy looking sweater. Good turn for him. Test of the cast is all excellent as well.
…and The Offer (which was great).
