BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

henry-69520 Just finished watching this series on Netflix and loved it. Can't wait for series 2.I watch films and dramas to be entertained and realise they are fiction not reality so a bit of artistic licence is given. Were there elements which made me question the script? Yes, the daughter possibly would be more believable were she 14 or 15 in the script not 13 but as the father of a 15 year old daughter myself maybe I'm over sensitive in this area.I too wouldn't have minded more foreign language where appropriate accompanied by subtitles but a mass audience might disagree.I found the characters fully believable and immersed myself in their lives. There was enough subtlety in the acting to allow degrees of hatred, sympathy or identification. The storyline kept me engaged throughout the episodes filling in gaps as it went along.For me it was a no question 10/10Watched it without knowing anything about the series in advance.

anlau613 This show has excellent plotting, acting, and strong themes. It's suspenseful and entertaining. It's also filmed beautifully. Other reviewers mentioned Dexter--there is a similarity with the crime scenes, but I think this show handles that element with more artistry than Dexter did, and also handles the main character's exploration of the darkness people are capable of with more elegance and certainly more complexity. Most of all, it's an incredibly astute and surprising character study, not just of the main characters, but of an entire cast of weird and wonderful people. Not one character is stock. I can't remember the last time I deeply cared about each and every character on a show. Some of them I hated (one, in particular, is one of the most flawed and frightening I can ever recall on TV), but I cared what happened to them all and could relate in some way to even the most disturbing of them. A great show. I can't believe I'd never heard of it before I saw it on Netflix and for some reason decided to try it.

BasicLogic This is perhaps one of the worst TV dramas I've ever tried to view and tried to complete the first episode. It's bad but I'm not surprised at all since anytime when the British film or TV dramas trying to make up something related to the mobster, gangster and so-called the British underworld, they usually turned out to be sucked to the extreme and as predicted, this show turned out to be exactly the same. I just don't know how could it possible this lame, laughable series would have fooled so many viewers and critics to give high rating.Bad screenplays, bad scenarios, bad plots, and most of all, eye-sore poor acting of all the actors involved in this series. It's laughable instead of believable with terrible dialog. The acting of the two brothers are just as bad as you could imagine, other supporting cast are even worse beyond any word could describe.Some genre definitions we need to clarify here: When you define 'Drama', it should be a 'Drama'; 'Thriller' should be 'Thriller', 'Crime' be 'Crime', 'Comedy' should be 'Comedy', and so on. But if you try to mix a 'Crime/Thriller' with 'Comedy', it will be like trying to mix oil with water, it'd never work, the result would be just turn such stupid mixture into a 'Farce'. This series is exactly like this, other than the poor screenplay and the stupid scenarios, lousy plot, the miserable casting job further deteriorated it and transform it into some deformed god-awful big laugh, insulting the viewers' I.Q.So far, anything from the British entertaining biz, except they are adaptations from the classic, such as Dickens or other classic literature, all the so-called 'English Mysteries' created by those housekeeping wives created on their kitchen tables are nothing but self-righteous yet laughable shallow, unbelievable and ridiculous products. Those laughable dreamed-up 'Murder' cases, 'Inspector So-and-So', anything related to 'Police', just turned out to be laughable. That's why Dick Francis would have created a absolutely stupid character as a 'horse jockey' to be a crime solving P.I., and more and more house wives or even old spinsters to be the crime solvers, and most laughable fact is that these people have created so many murders in England that might have already wiped out about 1/3 of their population.This series is too awful to watch and not worth writing a review for it, so the purpose of this review is just to warn off some people not to get brain damage and impair their I.Q.

bbriddell I read the other review & decided to give this show a try, I was pleasantly surprised.The only show to attempt to compare it to (pre-watch) was Dexter & about the only other show you can relate to when you first start watching.The show develops on its own & by the 6th ep the story starts to deepen. When you start watching try a few episodes back to back. Eps 1 to 4 were all watchable & I wanted to see how the story would develop. I was hooked by the 6th ep & looking forward to 7th ep.The acting, writing, directing, sets, locations, story, & etc. . are gre8 and keep you engaged in the story.If this is a French production, then the French have a lot of great shows for us English speakers. The only barrier was language & this show is in English. This is the 2nd French show in English that I really like more than most Shows here in the U.S. Most shows here in the U.S. are predictable, cliché', &/or boring.The sophistication of this show is well worth the watch & a welcome break from the current SOS in the US.Enjoy.
