The characters are both anodyne and unlikeable, the acting is largely terrible (although Juliet Stevenson gives it her best), the comedy isn't funny and the drama isn't compelling.
I'm oddly impressed by the BBC for having the courage to broadcast this, as they must have realised within five minutes of the first episode what a stinker they had on their hands.
