Mike Wellsbury-Nye

1 star each for the sound and visuals - both are flawed, but good overall. Zero stars for storytelling, dialogue or acting. See it in the cinema where at least it's an event. Watching at home will probably make this an unintentional comedy.

Two episodes in, and it's a mess of clichés, where subtlety and storytelling is replaced by characters glowering meaningfully at one another, and spouting bad exposition. It seems firmly aimed at fans of 50 Shades; a dark, brooding, experienced older man with mean streak and a kind soul, and a bright, innocent woman who is way too smart to get caught up in this, but who just *breathy glace* can't *intoxicated gaze* resist! It is, however, beautiful to look at, both in terms of cast, and locations. Maybe it will pick up, and allow what looks like a talented cast to actually act, rather than pose like they are in a designer fragrance ad.
