    An enjoyable, gritty series.
    Taxi Driver Vince feels estranged from his family, keen to better his life, he chooses a path, of crime.

    It's taken me quite a few years to get around to watching this, better late than never. It's a good watch, it isn't what I was expecting, but on the whole I enjoyed it.

    Brocklehurst has written some fantastic dramas, I wouldn't say this is up there with the best of them, but it's still a very fine watch.

    It begins with a very dramatic, high energy scene, and ends in the same fashion, the segments in between on the whole are a mix of very good and solid.

    A few times you need to suspend your disbelief, but some aspects feel quite realistic, such as Vince's trials and tribulations at work, and his mental decline.

    Three episodes was about the right length, it ensured the pacing was good. It didn't lag at any point.

    The best element for me was the acting of David Morrissey, he was terrific as Vince, I also enjoyed Colm Meaney too, he played the part of the villain very well. Light relief came from Lee Ross and Chris Coghill.

    7/10.
