Might have been good - Black Earth Rising review by Ken
Watched the first 15 minutes of the first episode but already the foul language was coming through. Sent it straight back.
When will producers realise that we don't all want to hear it and that it's not necessary in order to tell a story? It's just lazy script writing. If you watch it, be prepared for lots of "F" words.
