PrimeWire

I got through this (ultimately unsatisfying) miniseries in two nights. I think I was hoping this was going to be something riveting, along the lines of Happy Valley or Line of Duty, but sadly, no, not even close. I love British accents, but I swear, too much of this dialogue was either mumbling or colloquial slang, so that didn’t help things.
The chief offender here though is the wildly unbelievable plot. A bent cop? Sure. A bent cop going to all these lengths, over who knows how many years? Nope. Villains that vacillate; crazy decisions and promises made and unmade; etc. And sadly, it’s hard to root for anyone, really. I wasn’t moved by the families on either side of the law. The standout IMO was the retired cop, an actor I know and love from Endeavour. He should have had more to do here, but alas, no.
