This is a top class serial.
The acting is excellent from everybody, even if Vicky McClure always seems a bit the same in everything she is in (i.e. Downbeat with always the same accent in whatever I've seen her in).
The story is believable, since the situation with the drug culture and the associated criminality is so prevalent in many parts of the country. Also convincing is the extreme youth of some of those who get emmeshed in it.
The plot had me totally gripped and the ending came as a surprise. Admittedly it was a bit far-fetched that Vicky McClure's character so quickly and easily became a fearless detective, but, hey, it's a thriller.
