    The find cast deserved a better script, predictable from the opening scene.

    I would not call this a thriller, as it was easy to connect the dots, and be two steps ahead of the plotlines. It was easy to decipher what was going to happen next. If there is such a thing as a formulatic thriller this was it. Every key action point in the 2nd and 3rd episodes were predictable and sometimes tedious. I won't go into detail and run the plotlines here, but every twist and turn is easily to see coming a mile off. Still I gave it 8 stars, the acting is very good, Graham and Morrissey are veteran greats who did their best with the material at hand. Tallulah Greive is very good with a role that could have been meatier as we discover her hand in events occurring before the movie starts. Nico Mirallegro had the part of a menacing thug down pat, but seemed to lack empathy when trying to be a grieving grandson. Great acting hamstrung by a predictable script.

    Meh

    There were a few good parts in the middle, but I ultimately felt like I just wasted my time

    great dishy drama

    This is just what it is, a really good, steamy drama with excellent actors. i completely enjoy it for what it is. if it were american it would be garbage. i say enjoy it.

    Good acting

    I was looking for something that I hadn't seen and with the writers and actors strike on going here in America, that's becoming difficult I saw that Art Malik was in the cast and decided to give it a go!

    I have to admit that twenty minutes in it was pretty predictable.and a little boring.

    Malik did an excellent job as he always does and with this script he had an uphill climb!

    The other actors were no one I recognized but all did a good job with a worn out plot.

    I would have a difficult time actually recommending this series but others may like it ! Hope to see more of Malik in future projects but I hope he passes on scripts like this.

    Had potential but got weird

    Had potential to be ok, but the acting was awful, pace terrible and the last episode, wtf?! Talk about trying too hard. Don't waste your time!
