I enjoy slow burn drama but this was excruciatingly dragged out. The characters never really took off - especially Christopher Eccleston's part - he seemed awkward and wooden, not helped by the uninspired writing. At most this is a four part, even three part drama. Consequently it was diluted and not in the slightest bit compelling - which is a crying shame because the synopsis and setting had great potential.

The final episode throws light on the series of events leading up to the fall but it took its time in getting there. The story could basically have been told in an hour but was dragged out over 6 episodes.

I may rewatch if i ever suffer from insomnia.

Really enjoyed this. Intriguing and engaging. Kept me guessing until the end.

Ecclestone is always great. Enjoyed this show. Stunning visuals. Well directed. Intelligently written.

We thoroughly enjoyed the series and were left guessing until the end, expecting a fantastic twist or big 'reveal', but disappointingly the end was much duller than we expected.

Unfortunately, the '8' we would have given the series has been reduced to a 6 because of this.
