This tries to be different and in the process just ends up a confused mess.
Could have been a decent crime mini series had it been told in a traditional way, but the way the time lines chop and change just end up making the whole thing disjointed. I thought I was going a bit loopy at first when things from a previous scene were repeated were repeated, it took a while to cotton on that this was the way the story was being told.
In its favour it does have a real sense of grimness to it, but that's not enough to rescue it unfortunately.
The acting is of a high calibre for the most part throughout and cinematography is atmospheric.
However, it just doesn't gel.
