Good plot, dreadful direction, agree
16 March 2019
This may be the single most dreadful piece of direction I've seen in an otherwise good television series. Agree with the other reviews regarding mirrors and glass. Add to that artificial, amateurish angle shots and facial closeups. But the worst offender in my opinion was the stilted direction of the actors, especially in the early scenes when the action was "posed", people standing around like mannequins. An otherwise good plot, ruined by horrible direction.

At least Peter Hammond won't ever direct again, given his demise.
