Torben E @Torben Apr 12 Amazing thriller/comedy TV series, consisting of seven episodes and with a distinct morbid sense of humor. Amazing actors, beautiful scenery, interesting plot and adorable quirkily British (or: Irish) characters. You have to love quirky characters and black humor to enjoy the whole thing. In this series, the characters and their relationships as well as their personal growth are more important than the murder mystery itself. This might bother some viewers but in times of trivial, predictable run-of-the-mill TV series this one really feels like a breath of fresh air. See more Randall S @MovieFanInJapan Jan 29 I’ve seen a lot of trash on Netflix over the years, especially over the last ten years or so, but I hated this self-indulgent wallow more than anything I’ve seen in a long time. The three leads are all despicable in their own ways, but it’s the vicious, manipulative, vindictive "journalist" that had me hoping that I’d get to see her die painfully at some point. #2 is the "dogsbody" who, thanks to a couple of sentences murmured in her ear, morphs into an unstoppable bullying juggernaut bereft of any recognizable human emotion except for naked ambition and greed. Last, but hardly least, is the physically, emotionally, and mentally flabby "podcaster" who becomes the "journalist" ‘s punching bag and a simp of the first water. On the plus side, this stinker manages to check off every single box on the Movie Tropes, Clichés, and Stereotypes List, and I do mean every one. By the end of Episode 7, I felt like I had just watched the winner of the 2026 Razzies! See more Jim H @JimHawkins Jan 6 Masterpiece in every aspect. !!!!! Original, perfect cast, great writing.

Though the pacing is slow, the mystery and some witty writing will keep you engaged at times. This hardly felt like a comedy. See more Jana M @RT72197563 Aug 20 Really loved it! The story is the perfect mix of fun, often absurd moments and mystery. And the characters had so much depth! I only wish there was more of it, the developments of the last episode could have needed a bit more time to play out more organically, it felt a little bit rushed at the end. Still, this has been my favourite watch in a long time, I'm really going to miss those characters! All the leads were amazing, but there are a lot of lovable side characters, too, all perfect with their little flaws and quirks. See more Read all reviews
