Really looked forward to this as some great actors involved, but...
Hackneyed dialogue and some of the other actors were either wooden or overdone.
Don't waste your time on this latest BBC dirge - Unless you have a bingo card of tick boxes containing every sad modern day trope to cross off or use it as a drinking game.
Line up the shots and you'll be drunk within the first half - 'strong confident woman of colour' - tick. Main character refers to himself as 'sad middle aged white man' in the first 20 minutes - tick. If I could have stomached anymore I'm sure they would have shoe horned in a stunning and brave 'woman' with male pattern baldness -but I switched off.
