Without Sin is a solid miniseries that travels quite a distance in its four densely packed episodes. It is well-written, offers some surprises and red herrings, and finishes with a satisfying ending. The show is marked by quality acting performances. Vicky McClure as Stella, looks nothing like her iconic character in Line of Duty, portraying a workaday, middle class cab driver. Johnny Harris shines as a hardscrabble man accused of murder, showing in turns, pain, strength and vulnerability. Indeed, all the performances were good.
To be sure, some aspects of the show strained credulity. Stella, playing detective and constantly going into dangerous situations with the skill and aplomb of James Bond seemed a bit much at times. But once you put that aside, the story worked, and the characters were relatable. I recommend it.
