The acting is acceptable and the script is OK. It's a good story that does have you interested in what is going to happen next . The characterisation is well done although some of the results are rather predictable.
So it's got all the making of a very good series. That's until you start looking at the detail. The lead character is an undercover female cop who hunts down her young son's killer.
This is where the problems start. She is pretty but looks ill. she is painfully slim and without muscle. In itself that's not a problem or wouldn't be if she wasn't playing a hard cop with an ability to take and give out rough justice. However, she receives injuries that would leave anyone incapacitated yet she gets up and shrugs it off. She has a car accident which she just walks away from with a limp when she would be lucky to survive. A fight scene where she kills her opponent after a bone breaking fight but after crying in a bath she walks around without any damage apart from a scratch and a bruise. She gets shot and after going ouch twice forgets it. So she seems to get hurt and the next day she is better again.
One attempt to kill her from a guy on a motorbike has the rider hit the back of a parked car at speed. Next thing he is on the bike that somehow hasn't got bent forks/wheel and rides off after being thrown over the parked car.
So at first the lack of realism can be overlooked but when an anorexic woman has no injuries repeatedly it loses credibility.
such a shame. it could have been a really good series.
