Episode 1, Season 1
awful

The actors portraying Tommy Lynley and Barbara Havers were well chosen, and, at times, their chemistry was good. But the horrible screenplay and soap opera-like music made this a real clunker. The plot was considerably changed from the book version, which was surprising and disappointing. The actors were forced to explain what was going on in terrible, clichéd and unnatural speeches accompanied by swelling and overdone music. It felt like Helen was brought in order to explain what the program was unable to show. The relationship between Tommy and Simon was simplistic and unbelievable. No depth at all. Truly horrible -- despite the crushing good looks of the protagonist!
