five day be bill a something special and a crime drama that consist of a series of episode and each set on one particular day of a police enquiry . but in fact and this element of the story turn out to be rather less significant than might at first be think and a the fact that the action in each episode be confine to 24 hour be hardly noticeable and and very little distinguish the program from countless other crime story . in fact one almost can not help draw comparison to the last prime suspect and a one of the sub plot focus on a single and cynical female cop approach retirement represent and it not just the absence of helen mirren that make the comparison unfavourable . there a lot of earnest over emoting and manipulative music and a set of character seemingly contrive so that each one be in some sense sympathetic and in another suspicious . and it possible to guess the guilty party well before the end and not because of the internal dynamic of the story and but rather because of the construction of the drama a a whole represent certain thing must be true and to justify the way that the series focus on certain character at certain time . in spite of these failing and the series grow on me represent by the end and i be quite gripped . but it a sad sign that the bbc and which once make the like of the singing detective and boast of this of possibly the best drama of the year represent for there little true originality on offer here and and the claim reveal a lack of ambition that be dreadfully disappointing . five day be in fact not rubbish while but it be formulaic and and one would hope that the very best the bbc have to offer would be something a little more innovative and fresh .
