When I first read about this new drama, it seemed a bit contrived and boring. But since it is written by Steven Moffatt, I decided to give it a chance. I am glad I did - just a few minutes in and I was hooked. Brilliantly weird, totally fresh, not a single predictable line or plot twist, great OTT characters - this will be four hours of total bliss.
Great acting all around, especially by Stanley Tucci and his wacky cellmate.
All in all, there are only two writers capable of combining suspense with comedy on this level. One is David Renwick, and the other is Steven Moffatt. Shows like Sherlock, Coupling and Joking Apart are now joined by another masterpiece. I can even forgive him for the utterly silly Doctor Who and the awful Chalk - this is him back on form.
