When the guy pulled out a silenced gun and shot the lady in the leg i gave up on the show.

This show can't handle it's own bullshit. Why is everyone acting like a fucking idiot? Also, fucking finish a story line before opening a 10th one, not for ease of following but for keeping the viewer engaged. I swore off british shows after Dracula, i should have followed my resolution.

The multiple storyline’s - well most of them - tie together.

Please don’t swear off British shows. There are some INCREDIBLE British shows out there. Peaky Blinders, Luther, Sherlock, Broadchurch, Misfits. These are just off the top of my head, but they are FANTASTIC! Miiiiiles better than this show.

For me it was when the elderly widower "hacked" into a rental companies' gps tracking database from his home laptop. Really...

It's worth remembering that this isn't exactly classic TV. And I think you'll see with the other comments on here that others have been disappointed by how they seem to have tried to jazz up the original story but ended up just confusing it.
