First of all the environs are fabulous. At first glance it could be Australia or the USA but is actually set in France so the whole feel of the programme is different and all the better for it. I'm 2 episodes in and have already laughed a lot out loud but it also does pathos with one of the characters having a hard time with his life. Gorgeous actors also helps and again as it's not Hollywood, the faces of the actors take you to France. It's themes are not original but it is far more complex than the seminal movie shot in Sheffield. It will to interesting to see where this goes storywise and hopefully some of the female characters will have their stories expanded.

Wow! Absolute chair glue, so strong it elevated my level of binge-watching off the scale. It's a sophisticated, thrilling morality tale, a prophecy and warning that contains at least six DNA strands from most of my favourite science-fiction films. The six leads play their roles superbly and have enough space to steal the screen. Amy Acker is magnetic and just pips Sarah Shahi. Both kick ass. The male leads are also very good as are the recurring guests who also steal their scenes, John Nolan for example. I have been sated more so than any other series and suggest this is the gold standard to judge everything else.
