If you're not watching this, then you're probably missing the best bit of Brit TV at the mo.
A show with ambiguos heroes, a proper is she/isn't she villainess, cracking dialogue, a massive reversal twist. All wrapped up in an atmosphere that feels unbelievably tense.
Awesome, I'd love to see a Jed Mercurio Dr Who.
This made most US TV look amateurish.
