Mad dogs

I rented this from Lovefilm, and boy is it tedious.  I think it must have been shown as a four or five part TV drama and frankly I didn't get into it at all. It is the story of four former schoolfriends summoned to visit a fifth friend at his villa on Mallorca.  Said friend is up to no good, and a tale of drug dealing, killings, police corruption, etc unfolds.  However it just all feels either predictable or you just don't care about the characters in the slightest.  Just about the only redeeming feature is the villa and surrounding countryside, which looked lovely.
