Most reviewers have said it - this is a really good series in that it has excellent acting, high production value, and Sean Bean in a rare (and well acted) starring role. However, the plot is convoluted and ultimately unsatisfying after two seasons.
Season one starts out slow but interesting, building up to an ending that lives up to the title. No, this is not your typical Frankenstein story, and the series is all the better for it. You definitely need to see the entire season one to appreciate how well crafted the ending is.
Sadly, season two fails to match the first one in keeping up with the mystery and intrigue. Instead, we get an inexplicable explanation for why the crimes are happening, and a disappointing outcome that answers nothing much at all - worse, by the end the audience might not even care anymore.
It was a good effort, but dropped the ball in the end. Also, what's with the main characters seeing dead people?
