start.

i'm going to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with you there. this show is
total rubbish.

as british dramas go, this was pretty good. the guy from shameless is a good
actor and was pleased to see him in it. depending how the story line goes,
this could be a good show.
the way the first episode went, it seems in small way, the characters sort of
resemble that of "burn notice". let's hope it doesn't end up like "ultimate
force".
i'm gonna download it and watch it again, since i missed some of it on itv.

yeah, it's like "burn notice" except not any good. it's extremely formulaic,
poorly written and horribly acted. the main actor is like a cross between
russel crowe and keanu reeves.

it's itv so i doubt it's very good but i've got nout else to watch. if your
british (like me) you can watch from itvs' website but it's not very good
quality and there are adverts.
