Michael T Love this series, something totally new Peter Capoldi's crowning moment. A young woman who fears she has hereditary schizophrenia finds out that there is more to existence than she could ever imagine, all while she and the police are trying to catch a serial killer Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Tobias K Mixing a bag of a couple genres (moving from a family drama to a horror story before embracing the police starting their serial killer hunt) this show is a proof to why excellent writing matters so much. Throwing in great performances by Raine and Capaldi (his presence is strongly felt, although he remains in a narrative function most of the episodes), I suddenly found myself wondering, why I have avoided thriller series for so long. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Maryse M From the opening scene it is evident that everyone involved got the assignment. Brilliantly edited with highly creative scene transition that move the story along effectively between timelines. Great attention to details throughout, little things that complete every scene. There is the distinct impression that we are watching a narrative with a forgone conclusion, that season 1 has been created with a definite end and not written as a pilot with subsequent seasons to be written if funded. The entire cast is solid, no weak performance. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Jakob F An engrossing, spine-chilling, labyrinthine rollercoaster of a rabbit hole, the 1st season fashions a trailblazing fantasy-oriented interpretation of a longstanding sci-fi trope, employing second-to-none editing to throw the mind-boggling serial-killer mystery into overdrive as it’s unreliable narrator’s reality progressively unravels till they reach an earth-shattering revelation. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Thaniel W This series is probably the best ever made, and is criminally underrated. I'm not saying anything new here, but I got an account on RT just to post this review, because the show deserves all of the flowers. In order to properly enjoy this series, payment is requested in the form of giving yourself over to confusion, and not getting too distracted. Every strange flash of "what was that glitch image?" has some sort of weight in the overall story. By the end of episode one, you're confused. By the end of episode two, you're confused and invested. I could go on, but you get the general idea. But really words can't do justice to the payoff. It's not "all the puzzle pieces fit, and it's neat, and there's a solution" - it's more like a dunk into cold water. When I finished season 1, I cried until I was just snot and tears and nothing left. Then I rewatched episode 1, and found there was a whole new level of snot and tears. Lines that meant nothing to me, cheap dialogue to help you get to know a character, suddenly cut like icicles. I've not been so emotional about a show in a very long time. Absolutely 110%. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Lynne M Absolutely brilliant. The mystery is at exactly the right level to be intriguing and interesting, the plot develops into a delightful complexity. An absolute must watch for anyone who loves a good solid story.
