A FIVE was mainly because Love Lucy Hale so much. If it would have been REMOTELY OK, I would have been kinder. The premise of a super sadistic serial killer is a good start. But then it falls FLAT! I mean PANCAKE FLAT! It's like the writers wrote a premise for a story but not the actual STORY. Huge waste of time. Don't bother. I'm done.

A serial killer kills his victims in a particularly bleak and gruesome fashion, a team of Detectives have to battle against the clock to catch him, a list of victims offers a glimmer of hope.

Ok, it's not the easiest thing to follow, at times you will be scratching your head, wondering what on Earth is going on, episode three had me utterly baffled. It's one of those that is worth sticking with, as the whole thing is somehow better than the sum of its parts.

Some of the killings are outrageously over the top, but wonderfully macabre, enough here for fans of suspense and horror. It's well paced, gritty and does in fairness feel very unique, it's definitely not your run of the mill thriller. If you like a series that answers every question, feels black and white, you'll be frustrated.

The acting is generally good, one character is very annoying, perhaps intentionally so, Sam Troughton and Sam Spiro are just wonderful.

Don't expect to fully understand, but expect to be shocked and entertained. 7/10.

If you haven't read the book you might struggle to follow this show.

I've watched 2 episodes and I'm enjoying it. It's a gritty as the book. Though I think they need to explain more in the show for people who haven't read the book. Otherwise it's hard to follow.

Not very good at all. It's one of those programs where you get to see all the good bits in the previews. Acting was OK, American character was very annoying 'tho.

Interesting UK show. Fast paced and confusing if you don't pay very careful attention. Love the ironic send-up of the super-woke lesbian vegan American cop from NJ. Loved the BoJo-like character. If you're looking for a cop show with traditional formula and pacing, or you struggle with irony then this might not be for you. Personally I enjoyed it to start with, but less as it went on.
