I was dissapointed too as I was looking forward to the series as I really like Sarah Lancashire. I gave up half way through episode 2

Watched half of the first episode, yeah dire is the word.Good cast but all so unlikely we couldn’t watch anymore.
The scene where she goes to her dead lover’s flat is a case in point.The landlady allowing her into the flat, when she could have been a journalist or anyone, then the two oh so obvs fake female police then her hiding from them yet not turning off her phone and having a conversation with her little girl quite loudly.A waste of good acting talent let down by plot and dialogue.

I'm also on Episode 3 and I've just stopped to have a cuppa and a bit of a break - which I probably wouldn't do if I were gripped by it.

I'd be useless as a spy - I'm finding it quite confusing.

I also keep thinking that bringing children into the world in her position is so risky, I'd be constantly worrying. And surely once a spy, you can't just hand your notice in and declare you don't want to do it any more - there must always be someone looking for you.

Oh, this makes me feel better about not having Netflix.

I gave up early on. It’s dire.

I was looking forward to this but find it slow, boring, with some dire dialogue. Have given up as, at my age, I can't afford to waste time.

It didn’t get a good review on BBC’s Must Watch and I always follow their recommendations.

Neither can I, Jeanathome. I’m on Episode 3 now, and still trying!

I can't get into this somehow, despite the first class cast.
