Life of Crime (ITV, 2013)

Hayley Atwell, who made an impression as Peggy the indomitable English sidekick in Captain America and followed it up nicely as a dashing WW2 agent provocateur in Restless, carries this mini-series admirably over three eps and three (story) decades.

While writers Oliver Frampton and Declan Croghan's narrative is intriguing and suspenseful for the first two eps, a rushed resolution in the final ep leaves the audience with a "Was that all?" kind of feeling.

Oh what coulda bin.
