Culprits

I did not have high expectations after reading some reviews but I enjoyed the season and was not disappointed by the end. A cross between a Guy Ritchie and a Tarantino movie it certainly had a high violence content - but not cartoon violence as seen in John Wick It's well paced but lacks a bit of character development. It makes good use of flashbacks which were confusing at times and part of the storyline seemed a bit underdeveloped but it did not have much impact on the overall story. Eddie Izzard's role was a bit underwhelming. If you are looking for a series to binge watch it's not a bad choice.

Enjoyable crime caper romp once you suspend disbelief and settle into compulsive viewing and treat yourself to 10 episodes of " what's gonna happen next " ? Excellent performances by all the cast , and particular credit to an actor playing " Muscle " who was previously unknown to me but who I would expect to see and hear alot about in the future . Marvellous cameo appearance by the ever reliable ( if OTT ) Eddie Izzard and Gemma Atherton played the anti-heroine beautifully, menacingly brilliantly. I would not be disappointed if there was a squel and it stands alone well as a one off but more of this would be welcome.

The storyline of the show is very interesting. The beginning of the show is very promising, but as it progresses, the pacing feels slow, and many scenes seem to lack purpose. The story switches between the past and present, showcasing the planning of a heist in the past and a killer targeting thieves in the present. The show has been shot in different locations. I'm giving the show 5 stars. The characters are strong, the acting is good to a certain extent, the visuals are good, but the background score is average. The show is enjoyable, but don't set your expectations too high because you might be disappointed at certain points.

Slickly produced, the first few episodes suck you in... only to deliver a plot so full of holes you can see right through it. No idea why it's billed as a comedy either... unless it's the laughable fact that the cast can instantaneously find each other across continents despite being off-grid and incognito. Don't get me started on the 'Brain' who is somehow impossible to find by the 'villain' despite not being incognito.

Regardless, standout acting from 'Muscle' & 'Psycho' who became the only reason I watched all the way through the series.

The finale is utterly preposterous and hammed up to the max by Eddie Izzard who seems to think he's in a pantomime.

Really enjoyed this series which had a good balance of back story building and present day action with the story flitting between the past and present while keeping the viewer in the dark as to who did what and who is double crossing who along with who is good and who is bad but the only thing that let it down was casting Eddie Izzard on a gangster type role as all I can see Eddie as is Tony P from The Mystery Men movie which I s a shame. But overall an entertaining watch which kept me intrigued to the end . The acting was good and kept me watching until the end . Some really good parts in particular with Nathan Stewart-Jarrett showing a good range in acting and why he will be a bigger star in the future.
