Ok, so everything that can possibly go wrong, goes horribly wrong, Jack and Simone are under severe pressure.
Ok, I wanted to enjoy it, I badly wanted to enjoy it, Part one was a decent watch, I applauded the acting, and some of the themes, it pains me to say it, but it does fall apart a little here. The issue for me here is believability, I really did struggle to conceive some of the events here, you really do need to allow your brain to switch into fantasy mode.
It doesn't suffer with the same issues as last week, I actually thought the acting here was very good, loved both David Caves and the glorious Sian Phillips. The issue here though was the story, it was just all over the place, it wasn't cohesive, structured or believable, sadly it was a bit of a mess.
Some good shots, it looks impressive, flood scenes galore, incredibly well produced, I'll give it that.
I thought this series sadly ended with a dud, the twenty fifth anniversary next year, they really do need to get their act together, revisit some classics like Shadows, Prodigal son and Bloodlines, that's where the show needs to be.
Even for a die hard fan like me, this was poor, 5/10.
