Review of By Any Means

I think what's frustrating about this series isn't that it's rubbish, it's that it's almost good. And yet really, really isn't. It's a good premise, excellent titles and decent actors. The plot though, oh my giddy aunt, the plot. In every episode there's a moment where I'm thinking, 'Please don't say that line/do that twist', but they always do. They seem to go for the easy option in every episode and have yet to surprise me. It's such a shame. It feels like they use up all their creativity on the problem and then just stick a standard solution on the end, one we've all seen too many times before. The big reveal and the flashbacks that in programmes like 'Hustle' are detailed and intelligent are here predictable and underwhelming. Could still be a good show but it's got a lot of problems to fix. And as for the last line...
