I persevered to the end of the first episode
merely out of curiosity hoping it would improve - it didn't! Dark, gloomy scenes and stereotypical Irish portrayals. Extremely slow - Ruth Wilson's many long pauses, rendered speechless whilst staring into the distance became increasingly irritating. Switched off and will not be watching any further episodes. Was looking forward to it, following the Guardian's positive review, but was left very disappointed.
