I actually really like this kind of thriller. A bunch of "average" people's lives are upended when they are accused of a horrible crime. Are they guilty or is "someone" just making it look like they did. In this case the horrible crime is the very public abduction and kidnapping of the son of a CEO who is about to be named to a top political position. The people immediately arrested are all British and all are connected to the powerful woman, her son or her company in one way or another but they all insist it is just a considence. However when the ransom demand is that "she tell the truth" but doesn't specify that that truth is things get more complicated and the chase is on for both the police and the Brits caught in a deadly game to find the kidnapped young boy or the truth before its too late.
The story itself is decent one and if you seen Big Bang Theory or Agents of Shield you will recognize at least two of the leads. That was worth the story alone for me and its not a long one and it isn't overly complicated. And the ending at least made sense and didn't come completely out of left field. Was it perfect? I was expecting gotcha moments that came out of nowhere and I am glad they never happened and the big reveal made sense if you think about it. And yes there are some left wing politics to it but none overly dramatic. Characters actions mostly made sense. And I would watch a second season but this isn't the kind of show that usually gets a second season. Then again this is apple plus and not netflix so who knows.
