Finally...a solid British crime drama! It's quite bloody and gory, but that's passé in today's crime noir. I loved how different characters were developed and entire episodes dedicated to them - resulted in a much richer story! Although it's an English drama, there's tons of dialogue in Kurdish, Georgian, Albanian, Urdu, etc. Really appreciated this, especially as it brought in a truly diverse cast. But above all, the betrayals and compromises make this a gripping tale across two seasons!
Ignore the snooty reviews and doubters, grab your favourite beverage and snack, and get ready to binge the two seasons. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you will too.
My only negative point is, I wish the final episode of the second season was better written. It could have been much stronger, with perhaps some unexpected character deaths. But I'll leave you to opine after watching it...
