I was actually glad it's only 5 episodes long because the story isn't focused enough to warrant much more. The characters are all frustrating and annoying. The plot tries to introduce too many themes but 5 episodes isn't enough to explore them properly so they get rushed instead. There are a couple of twists but all pretty standard and sort of tie everything together but without much substance. At times it doesn't feel like it takes itself seriously but then tries to introduce domestic abuse as a late theme as well as the clichés throughout like an extra marital affair between Chris's wife and his nemesis. Yawn. Overall it's not the most imaginative writing and while worth binging, it's clearly written to be forgotten.
