I quite enjoyed this, I haven't read the book so maybe that helps? Keeley Hawes is great as always and the child actors are very good. The story is a bit silly but they do a decent job of stretching it out over 7 eps and keeping the interest up, which a lot of Netflix shows suffer at tbh...(so many Netflix shows are obviously 3 hrs of content stretched over 10 eps and its obvious) a few negatives are that it is a bit 'Dr Who' levels of production, scripts, acting at times and to address the elephant in the room so to speak, the setting and cast choices are rather odd truth be told. A market town (which is just a large village) in Rural England wouldn't be so diverse in terms of ethnicity and that does at times effect the suspension of disbelief. (You wouldn't set a show based in the Bronx or South Central LA and have half the characters as white, middle America types, that would be dumb, same applies here) the mixed race couple escaping the city to the countryside and the Woman from the home office from London makes perfect sense to be POC but half of the population of a small market town in rural England? That's a bit silly tbh...just set it in London or Manchester, Bradford etc if you want a really diverse cast, that would then make sense. Anyway it's not as bad as some say and not as good as some say (Ignore the 2 and 9 star reviews as usual lol)
