Finally! Great to see that the BBC has introduced a little anarchy with this top edge-of-your-seat drama. A few puzzling plots which never made any sense, but a great drama that leaves you high and dry in suspense.

It's great to get a drama that has engaging characters, plot twists and tension in every episode. The BBC really are great at making the best dramas.
