CGiii Comment
Paul Bettany and Stephen Graham as brothers!!! No two actors could be more dissimilar.
The LGBT interest is a red herring - there's a detective who doesn't seem to enjoy the company of women...and then, he does.
The plot holes are too big to be overlooked...the result is a highly produced, extended TV show that fails to grab and retain attention - despite the credible performances.
It's the writing...being erroneously inconsistent and laden with too many distractions.

The(ir) Blurb...
Thriller charting the moral collapse of a police family. Two cop brothers, smothered by the shadow of their former police chief father, must investigate a crime they themselves have committed.
