I would have given series 1 and 2 a 9 out of 10 but series 3 has dragged it right down to a 5. It had a great way of tackling the subject with a sharp script, moments of well-placed comedy, really well-used music, and enjoyable acting all round (though you don't always like the characters). Series 3 has dropped the music mostly, the script isn't very good, we're going round and round with similar themes already looked at several times, and the characters have all become so unbearable that I won't watch further. Actors let down by a bad script and story line. It's a shame really as it had so much going for it, especially the 2 young actors and the music.
