I really enjoyed Killing Eve, so on that score I was with the critics. Phew.
However I must confess to struggling with Black Earth Rising. Now in my defence I am a few episodes behind so perhaps it will rescue itself but, whisper it only, I think it's just a tad (and damagingly so) overwrought. Now I can hear the howls of anger from my miniscule readership - of course it's overwrought you idiot - the subject matter is so ghastly (and I accept therefore important) that the series has to shout when other dramas might favour subtlety. I don't agree - the shouting can be alienating. It's all a bit Oliver Stone if you know what I mean.
Mind you, I will keep watching.
