Really wanted to like this show, as it has a really interesting premise - low-level criminals blackmailed by the high(est) level criminals into committing a bold and fantastic act of crime/terror via threat to their loved ones. Idris Elba is, of course, great as far as the challenges of acting his role are concerned. But the plot is so full of holes, and the last episode at once implausible and banal, that it all just feels like a lost opportunity. More time spent on the plot was needed. Shame, because I really wanted to like it.
