Oh dear, another BBC flop.
Despite the presence of the usually excellent Hugh Laurie, the story is confused and lacks any real interest. It is basically an unoriginal, left wing and politically correct production with paper thin characters and weak script. Laurie seems to be largely sleep walking through his part and appears to be doing little more than going through the motions.
A cast in which nearly all of the good guys are women or coloured, or both, while the bad guys are the usual nasty white Tories is a typically 'modern' approach to BBC drama..
By the end of the first episode I'd had more than enough. I won't be bothering with the other 3.
