The script is woeful and the acting is attrotious. The whole production feels like a weird episode of Doctors or Holyoaks. God knows how people can rate this 10/10

Why oh why are Armitage and Rea that desperate for money to do this garbage, the rest of the woeful cast are teatime fodder actors so you can understand but those two, beggars belief. This isn't solely about bad acting but so much more. So what do I mean, well the story itself may be fine, however everything that is meant to take the viewer to the end is just appalling. All of it is wrong, young footballers who play a game but are in cleaner freshly washed kit after the game, cakes in a bakers where there are full shelves upon closing time. An old terraced street ready for demolision has no rubbish, weeds or rubble anywhere to be seen. A germophobe savant who won't shake hands put immediately takes money upon being offered from the same hand they refused to touch previously. Two members of the police are a male who is thick and childish (seriously a t-shirt hanging on a tree is "really creepy") whilst the woman is sarcastic and bolshie (mocks the parents of injured child in a hospital scene). The main 'school children' protagonists are all in their twenties, (what was the casting director thinking), why they dress like kids from Las Vegas on a field trip to Chicago is just odd. The dialogue is beyond normal, one minute robotic posh to the male policeman then talking teenage slang. Three coppers talking about a so called ROBBERY that's a ROBBERY to which thicket cop says "Who brings a gun to a cake shop?" hmmmm, let's have a think, possibly someone wanting to ROB said shop. FFS. I could go on and godbless you've read this far, but lawks oh lordy. If you're between 14-80 age range and like being spoonfed, never leave the house nor question anthing then you'll enjoy. If not, watch in amazement that there are people in this world who actually exist thinking that the real world is like this.

I didn't love it but it was catchy. But the ending was so bad. Were they in a rush or something? Or did they run out of ideas? It could have been a really good story. I had high expectations because the media said it was the new "You". I was really disappointed. They just threw everything together at the end.

A really intriguing idea, pretty poorly executed. It's not sure what it wants to be: quirky comedy or tense thriller. So much potential to build tension and keep you guessing, but too many silly, clumsy interludes, with bumbling coppers and silly school kids, the tension is frequently broken by the bizarre and the ridiculous. I want to keep watching to see what develops, but it's trying it's best to make me walk away; it's very hard to take it even slightly seriously. Some good acting mixed in with some soap opera, not a good mix. A crying shame and missed opportunity...

The first 2 episodes were intriguing and I started watching with high hopes but the next 6 episodes just annoyed me and in the end I found the whole thing stupid and illogical. What a waste! The story - based in an ordinary British suburban town with normal day-to-day people and jobs - could have been done so much better. I have no idea whether the original book is any good but based on this interpretation I won't be finding out. The number of plot holes; irrelevant red herrings and dodgy technological slights of hand were just unbelievable. Why did we have a whole plot line based around a barely credible teenage drugs party resulting in an unconscious naked guy in the woods and a decapitated Alpaca. Even these two items weren't really connected and neither had anything to do with the main storyline. How were the blackmailers able to get the information to blackmail their victims so easily and why would some of the victims even pay up? I wasn't buying it. I could go on at length about this but I don't have the energy. How convenient that the relevant people had a tracker on their phone which worked in real-time irrespective of signal coverage. Why were the police so dumb? They didn't seem to follow even basic procedure, e.g. no formal interviews. Why did one of their officers seemingly have access to a handgun in the UK (which is extremely unlikely) and be prepared to use it to commit murder on the weakest of premises i.e. to help fund his daughter's health treatment where all medical costs are covered by the state! Why did the husband not tell the police when he nearly caught the blackmailer but was prepared to tell them by text later when it conveniently fell into the wrong hands to help the storyline? These are just a few of the flaws. The acting in places was terrible. I've seen better in a daytime soap. I watched it because I couldn't believe it would actually be that bad and I wanted to see what would happen. Such a shame.
