I am a little unsure of this new series too. It didn't grab by straight away like LOM did. There wasn't the same feeling of nostalgia.

The biggest problem for me wasn't her. She was playing her character's part quite well. For me it was the over the top hamming up by Hunt and the other officers. Especially the gun shoot up near the end and the boat coming down the thames.

For me one element that made the original so good was how accurate that made LOF to the 70s. With AtA, instead of making it accurate to the time period they have instead made it accurate to the shows of the time like the A-Team, where guns were fired point blank at the enemy and yet they came away with the mildest of scratches!

I hope it gets better and this was just them getting into the series.
