I almost didn't watch this because of the reviews on imdb. Thankfully I did. The multi ethnic casting is terrific and Keeley Hawes as the lead does not disappoint. The setting is one of those self contained high end resorts on a remote coastline in some far flung place. It's about a group of adult friends and their children who decide to get away from it all by taking an expensive sunny holiday. It's apparent from thee start that things aren't quite as cosy as they appear on the surface. And then what takes place is one of those horrific events that we see on the news happening to people we don't know. The resort is attacked by a number of gunmen shooting randomly into crowds around the swimming pool. The success of the series is that we feel we know these people and so it's personal. The drama of this group of friends is played against an atmosphere of, at times, unbearable tension. Watch it and make your own mind up.
