From Darkness (2015)
Disjointed and poorly conceived
This series was set to knock Downton off the top spot. Unfortunately, a disjointed plot that may as well have been 4 separate unconnected hour long vignettes. The ridiculous scene where they go to the suspects house and terrorise their family, coupled with the female moriarty type figure who goes from victim to world class counter-surveillance operative was stretching the plot to its limits.
Where did the fat beardy bloke who perpetrated the actual crime come from at the end? All over the place like a mad woman's proverbial. Failed to deliver on what was shaping up to be a brilliant series in the beginning. The ending was even worse. Anne-Marie Duff's character was supposed to be a damaged police officer, but the way that she was allowed to run amok in an investigation when clearly unstable was bonkers. This series made me sad, sad I tell you!
