So far, so glamorous, lively and gritty.

It’s a straightforward production, with what I think of as classic British visual values — not exactly kitchen sink, but unfussy, realistic. Turner is very fine in a role meant to be at once empowering and tragic — which makes the series a little frustrating. As Maxwell Smart used to say, if she had only used her power for good instead of evil.

The switch from battered girlfriend to ball busting crime boss is so sudden, it’s hard to reconcile the instantly experienced crook Joan becomes with the desperate mother she is. Turner handles this inconsistency brilliantly, maintaining viewers’ attention with her razor-sharp turn as Joan. Additionally, the ‘80s setting makes up for the storytelling deficiencies in many ways.
