I saw the reviews but thought I'd give it a try anyway. Quite enjoyed the first 2 episodes but lost patience after that.

Once the perp had been revealed (I'd already surmised it would turn out to be him), the action dragged. But what I found was a particular 'wtf?' moment was when Jo Joyner's character, after having knocked out the guy chasing her, spent time scrabbling for her phone on the floor of the car. She had the keys - any sane person would have left the phone and got the hell out of there! A good premise but needed a tighter plot.

< more words needed> I agree with the other reviewers who noted that the daughter had an Australian accent whilst her parents had strong English accents, with no hint of the local speech patterns. I think in practice, the accents would be more homogeneous. Even after just reading a book set, say, in Ireland, I start thinking with a bit of an Irish accent!
