Martyn McReynolds

Excellent script, storylines and cast. Nicola Walker gives a compelling performance.

Diminishes the stature of a great man by presenting him as a whiny, needy baby. And the historical inaccuracies are bizarre. Below par Ridley I'm afraid - 1.5/5.

Gripping but bleak - Rapace is truly excellent.

Good performance from the lead but script, innumerable flashbacks/forwards and unrealistic narrative ruin it. This show jumps the shark so many times that it becomes tiresome.
