Shockingly bad. I think this is supposed to be a comedy drama but it's utterly ridiculous. The wedding scene in the first episode was enough to make me give up there and then. Ridiculously violent for no good reason and of no real use to the plot. The prison scene was completely cliche ridden, all the characters were two dimensional and poor Freddie Highmore on a hiding to nothing with his very poorly written part. One of the worst things I've seen for a long time. Check out The Veil on Channel 4 instead, far better.

This is simply dreadful! Don't think I've ever read a more poorly written and completely unbelievable thriller in my life. How this has been a best seller I've no idea. Two dimensional characters, pages of completely irrelevant narrative and dialogue, utterly clichéd and predictable from the start. There are simply hundreds of brilliant thrillers out there that are a hundred times better than this. Don't be fooled by the marketing hype. It's not even worth the one star I've had to give it.
