Top marks for the scriptwriters

And I don't mean that in a kind way. That they could have devised such a plot of Renaissance paranoia and twists is a marvellous feat. But does it make for good or convincing television? No.

There were so many improbable plot turns and surprises that it started to make the whole series ludicrous. Quite apart from that, how does a prostitute on the run make the jump into being a paralegal? That's just one of the ridiculous premises put forward here.

Then there was the trail of the pimp maybe being alive and directing affairs from afar. Is he or isn't he? I'm not going to issue a spoiler.

I have to say that the very last scene was about as predictable as it could be. How could those events not have happened?

This is a series to watch if you have nothing better and can suspend your brain functions.
