It clashed with Vigil last night which was too good to miss, but we will certainly catch up with it on iPlayer.

I'm always very impressed with Steve Coogan - very versatile and so much more to him than Alan Partridge. He was brilliant with Judy Dench in Philomena, the most unlikely of combinations! 

Agree about Steve Coogan, also saw Philomena - great British film.

I’ve also been watching Vigil, not as good as I’d anticipated, a bit contrived and predictable for my tastes, but easy enough to watch.

Only watched the first episode as yet but agree that it looks a good series. It is full of tensions both on the Lawrence family side and within the police. I don't know if DCI Driscoll is accurately portrayed but clearly the Met needed a few more like him?

We have now watched all three episodes. It was certainly an interesting drama and does make you think how certain sections of our communities are treated. It also became clear that the more the evidence was collected and a successful prosecution concluded the more the Met wanted to distance itself from the case. The problem for DCI Driscoll was that he was too successful. Doesn't showh the current leadership of the Met Police in a good light?
