I've watched this 5 part series on BBC iPlayer after watching Episode 1 on live TV. I will not spoil matters for anyone watching it 'live' but it's up and down.
Episode 1 Good 7* Episode 2 Not so good. 2* Episode 3 Good 6* Episode 4 Good 6* Episode 5 (the final episode) Rubbish 0* Overall score 21 / 5 episodes = 4.2* This series had the makings of a fine BBC production and then went rapidly downhill a third of the way through the final 57 minutes.
Without giving anything away, audience expectations of a 'Cops and Robbers' series are that good triumphs over evil or the other way around. Either way a nail biting finale is anticipated.
Sadly, by the end of Episode 5, you'll be thinking "That's 5 hours of my life I won't get back.
