So far, so good.
21 October 2017 | by croccylc – See all my reviews

One episode in and I think it's very good. Held my attention throughout, unlike 90% of other BBC dramas. The cast is stellar and they all seem to be really enjoying themselves. Cinematography is excellent, whoever is behind the camera really knows what they are doing.
