Always be wary of cinema or tv where the opening is devoted to a steamy, passionate sex scene, especially when it is interrupted by a phone call (from police headquarters) and the one being seduced asks the caller to hold until orgasm is achieved!!!! When Stella the legal officer is asked to take on a case she replies "I'll be there in 5". Laughably our heroine is able to regain her composure, tidy up, get dressed and convince her casual lover to drive her to be briefed on a murder case. Five minutes?!
Hoping that the plausibility factor would improve from this opening scene, things really didn't get better especially because of the voiceover from Stella who immediately painted characters as the 'baddies' leaving no room for character development. Sidekick Gunna, apparently obsessed with cats, has an unbelievable talent for hacking into government files within seconds.
Later when Stella's flat is broken into, two uniformed characters suddenly turn up to take her to the police station to make a statement. That these two were not policemen was so obvious that I'm afraid I have to question the intelligence level of our legal wizard Stella.
Where can this go to in episode 2? It's so far so bad that I feel inclined to stick with it for that one more episode and after al,l reviews here have been generally intriguingly full of praise.
