It's a complete and utter mess, following two deeply unlikeable leads who are seemingly trying to be more obnoxious than one another and both succeeding.
Most of the series is spent with the main characters shouting endlessly dull exposition at one another, to explain away unnecessary plot twists, which all serve as a pointless vehicle for quirkiness so forced that it's relentlessly disingenuous and subsequently annoying.
The team clearly thought they were making the next Utopia, even down to the heavy-handed attempt to imitate the soundtrack. They very much were not.
What a criminal waste of Penelope Wilton and Peter Serafinowicz's talents. Definitely one to avoid, lest you get duped into thinking it might actually go somewhere other than grinding to a severely unsatisfying and predictable conclusion.
