An truly excellent series, and with an exceptional performance by Jessica Raine, who manages to breathe life into otherwise hackneyed tropes (and also Alex Ferns). Having said that, it all falls part with the final episode, where we realize that many of the details that were tantalizing are simply that - distractions and red herrings to keep us engaged. A story doesn't necessarily have to conform to our world's logic, but it does need to fit into its own internal logic. And this one does not. Gaping holes, and frankly a lazy ending. It makes you wonder if there was supposed to be more but somehow budgeting constraints forced the series to be truncated. So, yeah - a bummer, in the final analysis.
