First of all, the cast is great. Not just good actors (most of whom I've enjoyed in other productions), but actors who have a lot of on-screen chemistry with their colleagues. I was sucked in at once by the scenes with the Thompson sisters (Georgina Campbell and Lydia West), and within a few minutes I was fully invested in their story.
The plot is good, too - not your usual whodunnit, but three ordinary, unrelated Londoners who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, now under suspicion while the real bad guy is on the loose, killing and scheming. Of course, that's just what we're intended to infer - it could turn out to be very different as the story unfolds...
The production values are good - slick and sophisticated - the music, lighting, sets and costuming are all quite well done.
I was a little surprised by Uma Thurman's top billing, as she barely made an appearance in the first two episodes. But maybe we'll see more of her as the show progresses.
Overall, I think this show is getting off to an excellent start. I can't wait to see what happens next...
