It was so crammed with supposedly big plots and twists to the point of being, at times, oblique and a little empty on result.
If a second series materialises, you are, however, pretty well set up for where things appear to be going in a very woke underbelly of a tale. Or is it? On the one hand, he appears to be doing the right thing in both an old and new world sense but then on the other, he seems so single-mindedly corrupt that nothing truly gets beyond self-interest in his longer game. I can only imagine that, for example, women of a certain age weren't throwing their drawers at the screen but rather shoes for his affair story.
In short, typical Hugh-babes character territory. Noice.
