After the shambles that was the hotly promoted and then promptly denounced 'Great Expectations', the BBC obviously have lost faith and gone back into 'cosy Sunday night drama' mode with this outing, which actually is no better or worse that the aforementioned programme.
It's just not very good, that's the top and bottom of it. It's not memorable enough, it's not well-written enough, or even performed. It's them hoping upon hope that people will tune in because it's vaguely engaging and they desperately want to make use of Michelle Keegan.
There's nothing wrong with it, it's like vanilla ice-cream - perfectly good if there's nothing else available.
But shouldn't the BBC be aiming for better than this?
