I found this mini series enjoyable which had an excellent cast including the very mean and moody Jamie Foreman and found his character's thousand yard stare to baby brother Joey (Martin Kemp) intimidating to witness.
I know that some have commented about Jamie Foreman's character receiving no repercussions after killing the Manager of the restaurant, however, you get the sense that the father played by David Calder is afraid of losing him again after a 10 year absence. Having said that surely making him manager of the restaurant after killing the previous one was highly unlikely and you would think that they would want him as far way from the restaurant as possible.
Also we do not get a real explanation as to why Jamie Foreman's character came back from exile and the mystery of the £25,000 that his American wife brings upon arrival sadly never gets explained.
The last criticism is that Martin Kemp's character has an older daughter who seems to becoming wiser to her father's criminal shady dealings and it would have been a nice touch to possibly see her spill the beans, much in the same way as Meadow Soprano did in The Sopranos.
Summing up there are a few unanswered questions and it would have been nice for there to have been a second series, to see what would have come of the main characters.
Overall it is worth a watch and you can find it on Amazon at a cheap price.
