Take a stable of top British actors, add a mediocre overlong script that feels like Lost with a storyline that is never going to resolve & what do you get? Boredom.
First 2 episodes should have been condensed into one. The forced emotionalism pushed me to care less about anyone or their overwrought hand wringing & soon enough those primary characters driving the storyline were gone.
I know it's a dystopian setting but you can only look at ugly for so long without feeling overwhelming defeat & depression, especially when there was zero light relief in any of the characters.
Not going to bother further. I'll wait until it's spun itself out to Season 15 desperate to find an ending & read about how it then.
