I was reading through the reader reviews and marvelling at the high scores of many of them.
Then I read the actual reviews and realised I must have watched a completely different show.
I don't know how that happened as the "Bay of Fires" episode I watched was based on a weak plot and every cliche in TV land.
And bad acting!
Even Marta Düsseldorf , often outstanding but at least usually at least reliable, seemed to flounder.
All the actors seemed to have this false approach where their intentions far exceeded their abilities. One of the worst was the badly-written real estate agent, who I kept wishing would get shot or something .
The state of the house with its rotting floorboards was merely ludicrous.
I thought I'd better watch Ep2 in case I'd got it all wrong, but had to give up and turn it off.
