We started watching this mainly because of Anne-Marie Duff and Johnny Harris, and episode 1 was good enough so I stuck with it (but not my husband). That's 4 - or 3 to be fair - hours I'll never get back.
Each episode kept pointing to a poor finale, but as I work in drama I really wanted it to be better than it turned out to be.
Main problems were: Underdeveloped characters, except maybe for Hinds (Johnny Harris).
Pointless plot diversion: Megan, Claire's stepdaughter, was she there just to be the diverting red herring at the end? The woman police chief, should get an award for most wooden acting since Pinocchio.
Rushed conclusion in episode 4, totally unbelievable and clichéd characters like the original killer (why didn't he run her over??) and the vengeful victim.
If the BBC want to emulate Scandinavian dramas they should import their scriptwriters and directors.
