Negative Positive
Title: Really tried to like this show...
Review: I've been favorably impressed with other BBC shows I've seen via Amazon Prime IV, so was looking forward to this one as well despite the difference in genre. [The ones I've liked recently are Bleak House and Downton Abbey, but I also enjoy sci-fi. Dr. Who was an old favorite of mine growing up, as was Star Trek Next Gen, etc. etc. - so this is not a genre-based issue for me.] I'm second generation American, but most of my mother's family is still over in Wales, so I was excited about a show based in Cardiff, and quite predisposed to like it. The plot sounded interesting on synopsis, and I like the main actress, who in my opinion does a very good job with a very poor script. The actual episodes are barely coherent in their plotlines, and create situations so ludicrously unrealistic and implausible as to make suspension of disbelief untenable. I gave up halfway through the second episode.
Is the review positive or negative?
