Best of British - Mad Dogs: Series 1 review by JD
It would be difficult to assemble 4 drama actors in better current form. The plot has 2 levels. The first is a dramatic trap into which they innocently become involved becoming increasingly more guilty involving first theft then murder and then drug smuggling. The second is the mid-life crises in which they have been involved which include separation, adultery and addiction. The direction however is poor. The complex plot is not well laid out and for such an extremely tense plot the scenes are not as exciting as they could be.
