This is perhaps one of the worst TV dramas I've ever tried to view and tried to complete the first episode. It's bad but I'm not surprised at all since anytime when the British film or TV dramas trying to make up something related to the mobster, gangster and so-called the British underworld, they usually turned out to be sucked to the extreme and as predicted, this show turned out to be exactly the same. I just don't know how could it possible this lame, laughable series would have fooled so many viewers and critics to give high rating.
Bad screenplays, bad scenarios, bad plots, and most of all, eye-sore poor acting of all the actors involved in this series. It's laughable instead of believable with terrible dialog. The acting of the two brothers are just as bad as you could imagine, other supporting cast are even worse beyond any word could describe.
Some genre definitions we need to clarify here: When you define 'Drama', it should be a 'Drama'; 'Thriller' should be 'Thriller', 'Crime' be 'Crime', 'Comedy' should be 'Comedy', and so on. But if you try to mix a 'Crime/Thriller' with 'Comedy', it will be like trying to mix oil with water, it'd never work, the result would be just turn such stupid mixture into a 'Farce'. This series is exactly like this, other than the poor screenplay and the stupid scenarios, lousy plot, the miserable casting job further deteriorated it and transform it into some deformed god-awful big laugh, insulting the viewers' I.Q.
So far, anything from the British entertaining biz, except they are adaptations from the classic, such as Dickens or other classic literature, all the so-called 'English Mysteries' created by those housekeeping wives created on their kitchen tables are nothing but self-righteous yet laughable shallow, unbelievable and ridiculous products. Those laughable dreamed-up 'Murder' cases, 'Inspector So-and-So', anything related to 'Police', just turned out to be laughable. That's why Dick Francis would have created a absolutely stupid character as a 'horse jockey' to be a crime solving P.I., and more and more house wives or even old spinsters to be the crime solvers, and most laughable fact is that these people have created so many murders in England that might have already wiped out about 1/3 of their population.
This series is too awful to watch and not worth writing a review for it, so the purpose of this review is just to warn off some people not to get brain damage and impair their I.Q.
