I know it's not uncommon for a BBC series to make 90-minute episodes, but I don't think this particular series needed its 3 episodes to be that long. Not that there aren't dramatically entertaining moments and subversive twists, but the plot feels stretched-out. Claes Bang's performance is good Dolly Wells plays the best-written character, but I didn't find her performance convincing. Most of the dialogue is meant to be witty, but only a chunk of it felt truly funny and clever. The 1st episode suffers from bad visual effects, but the other 2 don't luckily require to use them very often. In fact, the 2nd episode takes place mostly on 1 location, so I guess they saved enough money for the sets, costumes, etc... Without getting into spoilers, the 3rd episode requires the cinematography and the production design (regardless of the location) to be more stylish... and the show delivers.
