    [9.1] Bewildered and puzzled all over - What you see is not what you get

    A superbly deep British series that I didn't understand more than half of it and that's not because it was bad, it's because you should probably watch it a dozen times to truly and fully grasp the machination schemes behind it.

    Awesome acting by the flawless cast, spearheaded by the ever charismatic and beautiful Holliday Grainger whose dedication and stubbornness were a treat to watch, complemented with a fitting and surreal score.

    Desperately awaiting season 2 to shed some more lights on the series' dark webs of conspiracy and the events leading to the final minutes of season 1.

    Mind blowing drama.

    Six parts of complex, intriguing and baffling drama. This isn't your average six part mystery series, this will have you scratching your head, questioning everything you see, and doubting the things you've seen with your own eyes.

    It's one of those shows where you'll be googling throughout asking if there is such a thing as correction, great drama always has the power to make you question if something is possible or not.

    It's excellent from start to finish, the peak perhaps coming with Parts 3 and 4, it takes on a different direction from there on, but it's incredibly rewarding.

    An amazing production, it's super slick, incredibly well made, well directed, with great music.

    The acting is first rate from all of them, you can't pick a standout, Callum Turner is unbelievable as Shaun, I also thought Lia Williams and Holliday Grainger were flawless.

    CAPTURED MY IMAGINATION

    An engrossing and very well made series. Excellent cast, script and very well paced plot.

    The plot is fun if somewhat farfetched but it is a TV series.

    Definitely worth a binge in iso!!

    THIS should be the benchmark for future thriller series

    How STRONG and solid storyline, sequence of scenes and events form the basis of edge-of-seat thriller. Oh my, how a simple camera footage can be the root of gripping thriller!

    No fancy gimmicks, dialogues, shoot-out scenes, computer coding thingies, CGI scenes and whatnot.

    The plot on agencies is nothing new. It's all about how the storyline is delivered. It's delivered to perfection!

    Who watches the watchers?

    This is a very believable drama, fiction yes, but how much of this stuff really happens? Plots and sub plots with the innocent manipulated to suit the various agendas of opposite sides of the coin. Hard to spot the good guys as the tale unfolds, watched all six episodes in one sitting, well worth it. Great cast and acting and some real edge of the seat drama moments.
