It's a shame that such a significant and popular [here] drama can't make money. I'd argue that it's benefited ITV's reputation, and has helped drive use of ITVX, so there are certainly benefits for ITV. But it's concerning that broadcasters might be put off making important dramas like this in the future for fear of losing money.

I think such programmes are the reason why C4 and the BBC exist, so I'm surprised ITV made it.

I am pleased that they did, as it was a fascinating and well made drama. But drama is very expensive to make, and broadcasters like international collaboration to share the cost/risks.
