Yup bad. Really bad. This show may have gotten good ratings on Netflix but the reviews here on IMDB tell the real story. This is one of the worst scripted, directed, and scored shows to come along in a long time. Michele Keegan is either a terrible actress or her part is written so that, although she's the heart of the story, she's wildly unsympathetic -- she's a bad mother, a terrible friend, a creepy wife, and is angry at everyone she talks to -- and you end up rooting for her failure. The rest of the cast tries to make up for her incompetence but they really can't.
Then there's the plot, which is so horribly convoluted that Harry Houdini himself couldn't have twisted his way out of it. Plot holes, characters that make no sense, too many complications that lead nowhere -- all in all, it's a mess upon a mess.
And then the direction: unwieldy and downright ugly -- scenes shot from the floor, scenes shot from the ceiling, scenes that are shot from who knows where -- the director seems to think he is an auteur when in reality, he's just messing everything up.
The score is also over the top: instead of subtle clues to the action, the music practically hits you over the head with hints that SOMETHING MAJOR IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. It has all the grace of an elephant trying to do ballet.
Please, do yourself a favor. Don't watch this. You will never get those 100 hours back (well, that's what it seemed like).
