If it was just about Adrian Lester's character there might be something to it,, but she just gets on my nerves, i might have to record and FF through her bits, or just knock it on the head
Yeah but what would it be about without her, just watching him going about his day? If you don't like her i'd give it a miss, her scenes will be pivotal to the plot so there is no point fast forwarding.
People clearly aren't giving it a chance. To say you are bored after only 10-15 minutes is ridiculous. I think people just like moaning for the sake of it on here sometimes. It was the same with The Night Manager thread and London Spy.

I know black people age much, much better than white people, but even so, it's rather too much of a stretch to see the two main characters looking exactly the same in 1966 as they do today. That's fifty years ago for goodness sake.
Are all those three children forty odd, then? Pfft. As if.
And as for his dearly departed Dad, my word, he he had a splendid bum for a man who is old enough to have a son who's about eighty years old.
he was an undercover cop infiltrating her activist group, but they fell in love, had kids and now he lives his real life as his undercover alter ego. He's left the force but no one in his family knows his real name or previous life

It was 1996 not 1966 ( or at least that's what I thought it said on the screen)
Didn't think that was all that great and agree with others about the lead actress.
Shame as I was quite looking forward to it but it failed to engage me or interest me. Will give next weeks episode a go but not sure if I'll stick it out.

1996 dude.
Edit: Never mind, beaten to it, I did have to check though.

I thought that was brilliant, can't wait for next week.
I enjoyed it too. Good setup and an intriguing story in prospect. I'm assuming the Michael character Maya has been obsessed with for 20 years is going to turn out to be based on Stephen Lawrence?
It was OK and I will stick with it. Can't say I was gripped with excitement at the beginning but got better as it went along.
I thought it was intriguing to begin with, and did a good job of highlighting how awful death sentences are. It grew into something more gripping as it went on. I really enjoyed it all.

Me too, very enjoyable!
It may just be us three then

Number four here. I am enjoying it too.
Sophie Okonedo is a victim of typecasting - she is always playing put-upon or righteous sorts.
More enjoyable

1966? The riots were in 1996 I think.
1966??????
Oh. Thank you very much for putting me straight.

Suppose it's time for me to go to Specsavers.
