Very good. It focuses on different murder cases solved by a specialist team headed up by the impressive Birce Acalay. I like the way the characters are all very human and express their emotions frequently, quite different from the usual detective series. You therefore get to know the team members more deeply so feel more engaged with the series. For example Birce has a loving relationship with her daughter that is very pleasing to witness. The only thing that lets it down are the irritating formulaic scenes where the bosses complain, tell the team off, threaten to replace them etc etc.etc etc etc.
One of the best GL series I have seen to date either UK, European, or Global - and I have seen many of them although probably not all! The actors are excellent as is the script and the music. It's essentially about two women who fall in love and in the process conquer fears and misunderstandings. There are several other interesting characters and they add significantly to the story. The setting is the coast of beautiful Scotland with great shots of the sea and the seaside, a very British setting and feel (fish & chip takeaways!). I could have watched much more of this and was sad when it ended. There are 12 episodes (2 series) but each episode was quite short. Many congratulations to all involved in its making.
I loved this and in fact I might watch it again. It was exceptionally well written, the actors were all good, and the story line was interesting. It's a nice blend of romance and humour all centered around a lesbian cafe in South Korea. Of all the GL series/movies I have seen so far coming out of Asia, and admittedly I probably haven't seen all of them, this is one of the best in terms of its decent story and intelligent scripting. The GAP is getting a lot of attention at the moment but I suspect that's because it introduced some seriously erotic scenes which clearly pleased viewers, but in reality some of the scripting and acting was poor at times. This series was made by a female director who clearly has heaps of talent so I hope she can make more like this in the future. I'm waiting!
