So Good...I'm fairly addicted to British television. Especially the mysteries/detective/crime shows. This is one of the best of the best of the best. Smart and well-paced with great acting, it's quick to suck you in emotionally. Try at least a couple of episodes to let the characters develop a bit. Full of strong female characters, too - fantastic!

I am hooked!I love this series! I like how the epi's are divided into 2 parts. It certainly keeps me gagging for the conclusion of an epi. Casting has been done well as all characters seem to get on well on screen.

A big disappointmentA big disappointment. I expected much better considering the cast, prior ratings and amazon reviews. It was a big hit in England. I am a fan of British mysteries and crime dramas, but this series misses the mark in my opinion. I hated Cracker too, so be warned if you didn't care for that series. I've only watched one episode of season one but the writing was full of cliches, the lead actor is very a bully, angry and overacting.
