    Stick with it.
    A policeman and a teenage girl fall to their death of a tower block, but how did the pair die?

    If you only saw the first episode, I could understand you not enjoying it, and not sticking with it, but if you can get past that, parts 2 and 3 are actually really very good.

    It is an intriguing watch, very much a story about human nature, you think you understand events, and the characters, but the ending surprises.

    Very well acted, Jimmy Akingbola impressed here, as did Scanlan and Whelan.

    Enough here for a second series? I think so, we certainly still have some unanswered questions.

    Stick with it, 7/10.
