A slow start which i can see was there to build the tension but for my personal taste it took a bit too long and I had to force myself to get to part 2 when things got interesting! Liked the twist at the end with his mother and all the twists were well disguised with hints being dropped at the right time - very cleverly done, I just didnt enjoy how long the build up was
