I was attracted to this series by the quality of the cast and the central concept of the show with its sci-fi elements and I had high expectations for it. Unfortunately what I got was one of the worst shows I've seen in a long time - cringe-worthy, embarassing, utterly unfunny and really, really, cheap. Maybe the production team had no money left after they paid the well-known cast, but the setting, the sets, the special effects (or rather the lack of them) made this look like something the BBC would have made on a budget in the early '80s. Stephen Graham seems to make the best of the dreadful dialogue, but Daniel Mays is just awful in this - never mind chewing the scenery, he eats the entire set.
The script appears to have been written by a couple of 13 year olds on a sugar-rush after one too many Red Bulls and the production levels fall short of Sylvester McCoy era Dr Who. I'm a forgiving sort of a bloke when it comes to TV shows and films - I'll put up with all sorts of plot holes and wonky acting if I'm even mildly entertained. But this show is just dire in pretty much every single regard. Never mind Code 404 Not Found, this show's 400 Bad Request.
