Helping immensely with the task of keeping the viewer on side is a terrific cast.

Some of the show's plotlines and future reveals are obvious right from the get-go, but perhaps that's the point - we're watching a desperate couple walking into what appears to be a trap of their own making.

The Nest is so serious that it's hard to take it seriously.

It all makes for a gripping exploration of a highly charged subject, the plot bubbling with danger as clues are dropped.

For quite a lot of the first episode I wasn't wholly sure whether I was watching a thriller at all, or whether it was all supposed to be more about middle-class hypocrisy, or underclass desperation, or parenthood, or fertility, or what.

Helped by the intensity of Mirren Mack's performance. She's terrific casting here, compelling to watch and skirting the border between earnest and unhinged.

Nicole Taylor is the writer behind the Bafta success Three Girls, and it shows: in this, she's given us not just a twisty, whose-motive-is-it-anyway thriller but also, so far, a pointed exploration of the rights and wrongs of surrogacy.

The Nest is not as cosy as it sounds. I'm excited to watch the characters try to flee it.

Not one of the actors is putting in a bad performance and the plot isn't outlandish compared with some, but there's still something unengaging about it.
