Wow. This is terrific television.

100% on Rotten Tomatoes for season 1.

I felt season 2 was equally good. But that season 3 was somehow not up to the quality of the first two.

In any case, this is top notch British television. Recommended.

My biggest complaint is overuse of flashbacks. Weak story telling, in my opinion.
