Think that about sums it up! With a cast this strong, I should not have been bored and wishing this film were an hour shorter.
Felt like a lot of wasted potential. The actual story, which didn't feel particularly compelling, was undermined by annoying music. The effects were one thing, but the music should complement a scene not hurt your ears so you wish it was done. There also seemed to be a lot of focus on touching and hand movements. It wasn't exactly subtle. And also annoying was expecting us to read teeny tiny writing on screen via text messages, etc.
The leads were all strong and had interesting characters, but it just didn't work for me.

Watched this to see if it was as bad as the hype- and it was. Time jumps that don't make sense. Characters inexplicably wearing gloves. Very bad make up.
But I think the worst thing about it, other than the totally wasted potential, was just how unrelatable and unlikable the characters were. Why would someone watch this? I mean, other than the bad hype or if they like one of the actors?

Good quality drama. The characters are interesting and intriguing, and the story cleverly told out over the 8 episodes. Refreshing to watch a series and not feel like it was too long! Well thought out, well edited, just basically well done.
It lost me a bit in places, for example the details of the "mystery" may have been lost in translation- either literally or due to my understanding! Just being that bit less confusing would have bumped it up a star or two, but nonetheless it was an engaging and enjoyable watch.
