7/10
Good, but not great

I quite enjoyed this. Mostly, I admit, because of Paul McGann, but the other performers were excellent. I, too, figured out "whodunit" early on, but mostly by a process of elimination. I think the writer and director (and cast) did a good job of keeping the blame shifting from person to person throughout the story. In fact, I think it's because audiences have become so jaded (or sophisticated) that we *expect* the twists. It would have been a bigger surprise if it had, in fact, turned out to be one of the two main suspects. It almost seemed that the writers/directors didn't really know whether they were making a police procedural or a psychological mystery/thriller.
