4 episodes in and this TV series is on a par with the first ever Prime Suspect series. ITs gripping and gritty, has a wonderful Psycho in Jay Wrattan and Stephen Rea as Gatehouse is sinister indeed. Every role is filled with a superb actor and casting against stereotype is everywhere, the tough guy is a woman, the drug dealers white, the cops black and Asian, the villain and assassin an old man. 4 episodes in and you don't know where you are or who to trust I have loved every minute, perhaps the chase through Victoria park was my favorite but still its all awesome. I hate the fact that it will end, I don't even know whether they could make another series but I hope to god they do, this is worth ever penny of my license fee, thank you BBC.
