Something of a flawed gem.
Like many British dramas it is rather gritty at times. Set in a dystopian Britain of the future divided between humans and an alien ghetto.
Some of the themes are a little trite. There are clear allusions to the immigrant crisis faced by Europe in general and the UK in particular. There is a feeling of both sides being imprisoned behind the wall, although I'm not sure that was entirely the intention of the director or the writers. There is comedy but it can be a bit hard to spot at times.
There are some good performances, although some of the talent is rather wasted.
On balance watchable if you've got a bit of spare time but it is understandable that they didn't want to make another series.
