Having stumbled across this Scottish drama by accident i was hooked after the first episode and managed them all in 2 days.

The acting was fantastic as was the story and betrayal. Best thing to come out of Edinburgh since Trainspotting. The lead role played by Morven Christie was impressive. As my first time seeing her on screen i sure become a fan and will be watch more from her.

As a long time Peter Mullen fan he executed the role perfectly. I didn't expect anything less.

I don't really understand what others expected with the low scores as this was an outstanding binge worthy series that is up there with the best of dramas. You must give it a chance.

I like Timothy Spall as a actor and the fact i live near Benidorm made it a bit more interesting for me looking for cast extra's i know. The film started off great and then nothing happened. If anything it confused my as to why someone would spend such a budget and why Tim accepted this lead role.

Some of the scenes were plastic looking compared to the real life Benidorm, especially in the nightclub areas, it made the movie look like, almost amaturish. God knows why it was nominated, as after he arrives in Spain and realises his brother is missing, nothing else worth substance really happened. It got really boring, really quickly. It was so exciting, i couldn't wait till the end to start some housework.
