Review by bunnysnotwolfgang

The first few series of this were outstanding, but the last couple were really poor.

I think it's about the time when Idris Elba started to be more creatively involved that it stopped being well scripted and well paced, and started being a series of action set-pieces made to make Elba look variously cool and hard.

Much like other comparable shows like Sherlock, the early series are definitely worth a watch.

Now it won't let me post the review without more characters, so I'll say that Ruth Wilson absolutely steals every scene she's in, and there are a couple of villain performances that are absolutely bone chilling.
