Where this series falls down somewhat is in the storytelling department. At times, the first series felt incoherent and the final episode, more than a little ridiculous. Who, for example, gives a bereaved man a service pistol and sends him out to accompany a criminal, who engineered his daughters murder?

In summary, a decent crime thriller series, undermined, at times, by inconsistent and implausible storytelling.
