Was excited to wait for a few episodes before watching this. It's utter trash. This is unofortunately what happense these days, good tv shows are few and far between.

Production is obviously very good but the plot, writing, acting, everything else is nothing like any of the Alien movies, good or bad.

If you like stupidity and kids tv shows, by all means you will enjoy this. I can't get through the second episode.

Cringeworthy, at times ridiculously and unbelievable plot lines with silly character decision-making for so-called 'MI5 agents', acting likewise is at times awful from some of the supporting 'actors'. This show is very dumbed down and in no way deserves an average rating over over 8 on here. Not sure I will bother with season 3. Oldman is brilliant although his accent is annoying, as is the theme song.

This had the chance to be something very well-crafted, unfortunately it falls well short of that. If Oldman wasn't in this, it would have been cancelled after one season. Average straight to tv drama.

I stumbled across this show whilst searching for something like the excellent Homicide Hunter, produced by the same network, what a pleasant surprise.

The storytelling is on point, with what has to be said, superb acting all round. There is a real sense of continuity with the interspersed reenactments and storytelling, along with the on-point camera-work and production. There some great shots and moving angles around the actors and the costumes and soundtrack/effects, everything just seems very fitting - not just with the theme of the show - but with the time-frames that the episodes are set.

It is refreshing to see something so well-made and clearly everyone involved with this has a great talent. This show deserves a lot more recognition and indeed a Season 2!
