I started to watch this as I was intrigued that Richard Gere was in it. I've not been disappointed great actors and great story, brilliant acting from lead actors. Do not take any notice of the vacuous bad reviewers they are probably tabloid readers! And if they had persevered with the series, not that they would understand it, they would see it's all about manipulating people like them. For the rest of us enjoy it's some of the best drama I've seen in long time.
