I'm not sure what to say about this. It started with a degree of promise and then slowly turned into a mish-mash of events which appeared confused, illogical and largely unconnected. The acting was pedestrian at best, the plot, such as it was, was pretty daft with a female doctor doing a bit of globe trotting in search of her nephew who'd become embroiled in a terrorist organisation, and another woman heading some sort of MI5 unit but making a hash of her job. Overall, the characters were uninteresting and one-dimensional, and the dialogue was naff. The whole was frequently accompanied by loud background noise, presumably intended to increase the, or replace the missing, tension.Frankly, it was utterly unmemorable and a wasted 6 hours for me.

Episode 3 and after shooting at Danish and hitting Doctor Mona instead, the woman from MI5 wonders whether they might have frightened Danish off! Nah, not at all, don't worry - he'll trust you! It also seems that Pakistani hospitals have much better treatment capabilities than the NHS as Dr Mona is miraculously cured and back on her feet within days and.....completely forgives and forgets MI5 for shooting her!If the BBC keep producing stuff like McMafia against rubbish like Next of Kin then they have nothing to worry about - the licence fee's worth it!
