I didn't know it was supposed to be a series, thought it was to be a mini-series, a long movie. So, I did feel that once the lady journalist was rescued it began getting confusing because the only thing really left to do was find out why Collinson did what he did. Although the middle story was very good, I kept wondering how it was advancing the important parts of the story.

There is lots of extraneous footage and meanderings that lead nowhere that could be cut instantly. I'd keep the last story (assuming the second was gone) because Porter needed to understand Collinson more and clear himself, but distilled to a half hour or so.

It would work better (for me) as a two hour movie. They have at least two hours of great stuff and removing the fluff would have made it excellent.
