I'm surprised at the poor reviews.
I found the acting to be good (Cole) to very good (Holland), the script generally serviceable rather than clunky and expositional (as is the case in most British TV series, sadly) and, despite the inevitable anomalies, the makers have created a credible and plausible 60s ambience and setting.
And although it's not as good as the film, and is inevitably eager to burnish its woke credentials to a new audience, it is certainly a cut above the usual vacuous dross we have to endure on a Sunday evening.
