English drama with top actors can never fall completely flat, can it? I only found this series now (2024), and read that it was partly poorly received when it came out. Nevertheless, I can reassure you that it is not bad. Nor is it among the best, far from it. But with actors like Sarah Lancashire and Mark Lewis Jones, this series lasts through 4 episodes. Without them, and the rest of the other good actors, I think this could have gone badly.
They prove here that even with that uninteresting plot, somewhat stereotypical character, they manage to keep the series alive. Compared to a lot that is produced today, this one is certainly good enough.
The series creators should also be praised for sticking to 4 episodes, and not dragging this out unnecessarily. Give it a chance, not everything that is made for us viewers can score all possible points.
