Mixed reviews on this one. On the bright side, I like the ' 3 episodes' format--that would save a lot of long-winded series from dying a slow death.
Part of the problem with the lead actress, Gemma Whelan, is her wardrobe. She dresses like an old maid clerk in a flower shop, mousy hair cut and all--not a DSI. If it's hard for US to take her seriously, how can the other characters? Compare her with VERA. She is bit doughty for a reason, and she is older.
It does not fit here.
Another character, a witness to 2 people falling from THE TOWER, hardly speaks. That's a pain.
Despite the above, I think the story is watchable & merits a 7.
