Troubled Blood: Part 1

Seriously disappointed here - whatever happened to the acting. Have they decided to hire an amateur dramatics company for this?

The dialogue in this season has become wooden and painfully expository. I definitely don't remember the previous seasons being this amateur.

It's been painful watching - or listening, rather - to be fair, the visual styling is still good, and on paper it should be a solid show. But I just can't get over how much of a let-down the acting has become in this season - entirely detracts from any quality in the original story.

Hopefully they'll up their standards for the next book.
