British quality drama. It has a nice eerie atmosphere due to the ominous lighting, the use of different camera filters and a soundtrack that goes through the marrow. Every time that doorbell rang, I got chills because another potential danger presented itself to that tormented old lob with his cane (Robbie Coltrane). Here the accusations run like an ink blot throughout family life. Julie Walters plays the mother who has always tolerated hubby's adultery and is confronted with a side of him she no longer understands. Andrea Riseborough is touching as the young woman who fights against her own demons, while at the same time trying to forgive and deal with her father.
Where the series leaves some points is that the figures from the flashbacks are very far from the figures in the now. How Paul and Marie develop into narcissistic psychopaths and conscientious housewives just doesn't feel convincing. The focus is now very much on the plot twists and suspense, but not on how these characters could change over time. Although it is nice that you are always misled by how husband/wife/daughter try to save things with lies, intrigue and manipulations, with a (yet) surprising outcome. It's not often that a movie/series ends with a bittersweet Pyrrhic victory for all the main characters.
