OK so the two girls, the music and maybe the lengthy news reel aren't to everybody's taste, but I don't think they do enough harm to detract from what is a wonderfully clever murder mystery, one which is seemingly light on the surface, is actually very dark, full of dark love and burning passion.
The characters are beautifully drawn, you have the commanding Alistair Blunt, fantastically portrayed by Peter Blythe, who gives a very strong performance. Frank Carter is so much like the character in the novel, Eccleston never fails. Sara Stewart I find rather good also as Jane Olivera, such a beautiful and talented actress.
It looks great, the inside of 'Whitehaven Mansions' in particular, look fantastic, what a classy period in history. Some of the costumes are super too.
I love that it is such a complex mystery, I doubt a casual viewer would watch it and guess the outcome, it's a show you have to pay attention to, or face missing a key element. Great episode 8/10
