5/10
What a disappointment!

Warning: Spoilers
I sat through 7 episodes of what was often a rather tedious (albeit beautifully made and acted) film, mainly to see how the writers would end it. Whilst this wasn't as bad as the last episode of Fortitude, it seemed to suffer from the same problems. The writers came up with intriguing ideas which were filmed exceptionally well, but in both cases they had not really though the whole thing through and failed in several ways - there were too many coincidences and any sort of logic that had been maintained through the series went out of the window. Most of the plot lines either made no sense or were unconvincing - e.g who was the little girl that Polly had to kill?; Why would Polly have to kill her and why would she do it? (One can conceive of brainwashing, but it's not even hinted at). The idea of Iris turning up as Shahara's taxi driver at the end was laughable. When Elias and 'old Shahara' 'disappeared' outside Sarah's, there would be no reason for young Shahara to be there outside Sarah's house. What a shame - I could certainly have come up with a better ending, but it probably wouldn't have been a happy one!!
