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.
