Despite itvx releasing the whole of series 3 on the same day, we can only review this episode here.
The original Belgian series was brilliant and this translation has almost copied it but something does seem to have been lost in translation.
Admittedly s3 of the original series was darker and weak plus overtaken by political correctness but thd UK version has been like that since the beginning.
Where most of the inmates in the original were ethnic minorities, UK tv has a different agenda with most of the inmates being white as is the bad screw while the good one is black.
Hopefully, the series will improve but this just seems very stale and going through the motions.
I these modern times of cgi, it would have been better to take the original, move the mouths of the actors as if they were speaking English and dub it m as Netflix did with the English version of the recent Spanish series Berlin. It's good to see Lisa and Dan are still here as they didn't last the course in the original. At least there is stability here.
Little in the way of humour here but characters the viewer can care about and, coming from a different stable, the show has a different appearance and feel to other itv dramas (being filmed in Belgium gives it a different look).
