This miniseries tricks you into thinking there will be an astonishing reveal that is worthy of the painful slog of an effort it is to watch.
After watching episode one I felt perhaps I had accidentaly skipped a few episodes, as just 5 minutes in I had no idea what was going on. Aware that this was based on a novel I powered through in the hope that all would be made clear in the forthcoming episodes.
How I was sadly wrrong.
The premise of 2 cities overlapping, but being worlds apart and disconnected was intriguing. However there is no real explanantion as to why and how this happened. We're never really told if this is a futuristic yet backward era or a facsimilie of a divided Germany. (the scenery, uniforms and costume certainly allude to this)
The cockney foulmouthed sidekick pours fuel on the fire of annoyane. This leads to apathy and makes you wonder if you really care about the dead girl.
I'll stop now for the fear of dropping spoilers, but it shouldn't really matter as I would highly recommend swerving this programme.
