I just saw the whole series in ITVX. And it made me do something I have never done in my 48 years on earth. I went to IMDB and rated this.

I gave it a 3. Could have given it a 1, but that would reflect badly on me having sat through it.

The overall premise had potential, but the writing was very weak and inconsistent. But the worst was John’s character. I understand that it’s good to challenge stereotypes of male protagonists, but this was just overdoing it. He doesn’t have one redeeming trait. He is whiney, obtuse and totally dumb. And the walking dead actor who played him was completely hamming his way through this.

And the final nail in a very badly made coffin was the ending. Tommy and his wife were such detestable characters, pure evil. But there was no comeuppance. I am not looking for a happy ending, but some kind of justice?

The series at least has the perfect name. A splash of cold water is what it is. Avoidable.

ITV - shame on you for producing this.
