Don't be fooled by the word "heartwarming" in the description. It is NOT. There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING about this show that is remotely happy. Every element, every line of script, every scene, everything is imbued with, soaked in, and inescapably drenched in depression. Everything is sad. Every episode will leave you close to tears and a little closer to suicide. Don't show this to someone with diagnosed depression. It WILL tip them over the edge.

There is a fine line between an intelligently written and intricate plot, and one that's just so confusing that you can no longer truthfully call this entertaining. It really does take a GCHQ or MI6 employee with two PhDs and a brain so big they need to wheel it around on a trolley to understand what the hell is going on.

There's no doubt that it's quite well filmed and well acted, but that doesn't make up for it. None of the characters are nice or relatable, they're all flawed and bad and depressed, and they spend time in grim-looking places doing grim things. It's filled with veiled metaphors and conversations so rife with loose implications that you'd need to sit there taking notes and pausing every five seconds to understand everything that's going on. The impenetrable nature of this really makes it boring and irritating beyond words. It is a waste of time to watch this. And by the way - it calls itself a comedy, but there are literally three funny parts in the entire second season. I counted, that's how bored I was.
