I'm not sure what the other reviewers watched, but for me this was the birth of a drama masterclass. This first episode is dramatic, gripping and very intense, it sets us up nicely for the first series.
We are introduced to the main tram, AC12, we also meet Gates, the chief with the exceptionally high clean up rates, but is he corrupt?
Compston is excellent as Steve, his back story was excellent, we learn plenty about him, for me though, it's Lenny James who dazzles as Gates.
It definitely gets better, but this was a very strong start. 8/10
