Coma is a brilliantly tense thriller, over four hours of increasing intensity, there are no loops here just escalations.
It centres around a mild mannered Jason Watkins and a single moment, tormented by just about everything and anyone he snaps and his world unravels. Pretty soon he's sitting uncomfortably in wine bars with petty gangsters and lying to the police.
It is also awful, a great set of core names wondering what they are doing here. It is filmed in Eastern Europe and that doesn't get lost - it simply looks nothing like anywhere in the UK.
Somehow this manages to be enthralling, tense and awful at the same time.
It's 4 hours - it's channel 5 - there are worse things on TV to watch!
