I thought this series was brilliant. Honestly don't know why people ain't talking more about this one because its very dark, quite gory in some parts and well acted. Every episode keeps you guessing and making you want to watch more. Sacha Dhawan and Iwan Rheon as Honey and Molina were such a blast in this they were fantastic, their acting talents are really being wasted on british television they are Emmy worthy in this. Ukweli Roach as DI Jack Cafferty was great he was perfectly casted in the role. As well as some of the supporting roles were excellent such as Owen Teale surprisingly not playing a villain here, Juliet Stevenson, Sian Reese Williams and Annes Elwy were all fantastic.

Every episode makes the mystery more juicy and the pay-off was fantastic. The only downside about this is that there does seem like too many questions to answer by the final episode but surprisingly the finale didn't feel rushed. Its an excellent series highly recommend.

I more often than not abandon many a series because they simply fail to hold my attention. This one kept me watching! The characters are interesting and quirky and the story moves along at a fast pace with no time for boredom to take hold. I've watched the first two episodes and at this point I'm eagerly awaiting the next .

I'm not overly keen on Ukweli Roache's portrayal of Caffrey which is quite flat and weak but other than him the cast are very engaging. The Anchor -Ferrers' and the home invaders are played superbly with a darkly comic slant and horrible as the baddies are you can't look away. I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews ~ In my view this is very watchable.

I agree with the other reviewers that said it doesn't translate well. If you're a fan of Mo Hayder's books, you would agree that the portrayal of Jack Caffery is completely wrong. For one, he's much older and way more experienced in the books. I also agree that they should have started with his first book. The Running Man character is confusing unless you've read the books, also the sub-plot of his missing brother and the neighbour is given very little context in the screen series. This has been a running theme in the books that has kind of annoyed me as it deviates from the main storyline too much.

Whilst it was not a patch on the books however, I really did enjoy the series. I disagree that the acting was bad, I thought it was superb. The fake policemen used dark humour that I thought added to the overall perversity. The twists were shocking and believeable once everything came together at the end.

A little slow around episodes 3-4 but it picks up momentum again in episode 5 and by episode 6, it ties up all lose ends and is a shocking thriller overall.

I going against the grain so far and saying I really enjoyed this, although I've only seen the one episode. There's some nicely over-the-top Inside Number 9 style black comedy behind the genuine suspense and horror, and, although the whole thing is quite baffling, I'm looking forward to seeing more. The two local "detectives" are hilariously sinister, there's some genuinely funny lines of dialogue, and it'll be interesting to see how the three main plot lines fit together. If indeed they ever do.

Ignore the predictable anti-beeb bias you always get from certain comments here and give it a go. You may enjoy it, you may not.

I thought this series was a bit of fun and really enjoyed the implausible plot lines. It's a bit different than most BBC output but I personally don't think that's an issue, at least not for me.

The recent Sixth Commandment with Timothy Spall was a great limited drama series, almost an uncomfortable watch as it's based on a true life crime. It was excellent television.

This is very different. I really did enjoy the two detectives, some hilarious moments. Hopefully it was intended as a dark comedy because I thought it was a riot.

If you like your drama come thriller specifically on point then you might not enjoy this. I will watch pretty much anything and I'm not fussy. I personally find most television very forgettable, mostly due to the dearth of shows available to watch. Don't take this too seriously and you might enjoy it.
