CGiii Comment
Rarely does television do 'dark' well - this is 'dark' done well.
Stott plays the anti-hero with dour perfection.
There are so many strands and it does get a little jumbled by the end - stretching that imagination just a little too far.
That said - it still is a mighty production, especially for TV.
