I made it through the first couple of episodes but gave up because the show lacked authenticity, and seemed artifical and forced. The issue of racism was a prevalent theme but it placed characters and attitudes from perhaps the 1980s into the 2020s and it just didn't stack up at all. It was all too black and white and the agenda of the writers intruded far too much on the story itself. There were moments of great acting by the likes of Peter Capaldi and Cush Jumbo but the lack of any subtlety in the writing left them with little room for manoeuvre. Overall, one to avoid in my opinion as there's much better written stuff out there.
