Becoming more unbelievable every episode.
Siobhan Finneran is usually a great actress, but this has more dinner lady vibes than a police protection officer." A third person commented: "I love Siobhan Finneran, but I think she's been miscast in this one. Nothing seems to happen.
Disappointed is not the word." Pointing out issues with the plot, another viewer wrote: "Yes, that is a good idea—let the dodgy intelligence guy know you are onto him..

Liz will stop at nothing to redeem herself, the reputation of her lover, and to keep her witnesses and her own family safe—even if it means breaking all the rules." Speaking about the show, Siobhan explained: "I loved filming in Liverpool, it's a great place to potter about and look at buildings.
It was great to work with Katherine again, and working with Nadine was great as well—I’d not done so before, but we've got some great scenes together. "I just enjoy being on set with good actors and being able to play with the scenes. Although, I've never done a job this intense.
I was in every day and pretty much every scene, so it was exhausting. Your day starts at five and doesn't finish till ten. But I loved it.
