The neurotic bed-hopping (which continues even after one of the trio is dead) was akin to torture. Thankfully, despite the longueurs, AWOS gets where it needs to go.

What you don’t get, here, is understated elegance (if that’s your bag, watch the brilliant family saga Asura). Things often get silly. Really silly, though mostly in a tongue-in-cheek way, which is why it’s such a pleasure to go with the flow.

Is every second of this series satisfying? Nope. Ritchie – who, in my opinion, is a total superstar – isn’t given enough to do. .... Still, overall, Code of Silence is truly groundbreaking, and the first three instalments are sublime.

Lazy, misleading and cynical Netflix package.
