Great if completely improbable premise for a series, and the first half dozen episodes are great, then for me it takes a massive downturn, as the stories actually become boring and ordinary. The second series is even duller story wise, the only thing that keeps it afloat is the performances from the cast. I didn't see it when it was first broadcast, so, I binge watched on blu ray, maybe that's part of the problem, perhaps it's one of those programmes that's better in small doses. Oh, one episode features the worst Marc Bolan look a like ever!
