All in all, considering its ongoing story line, the character development of this production doesn't make up for its slow-moving lack of action. I was expecting much more from this very, very low-key series mainly because of Sharon Small's presence. The previous performances I've seen from her have been involving and engaging. Unfortunately she is unable to lift it much, and her Scottish accent in this grates a bit. Hugo Speer, I find, doesn't have the charisma for the lead role, and the fact that he always speaks as if he's had a terminal punch to the larynx doesn't help. Tori Allen-Martin does a good job of portraying a hopeless social worker who puts in 9-5 as a cop instead.
