If you don’t mind never getting closure and live for gorgeous visuals (think Tarkovsky’s The Sacrifice on acid) and a banger, queasy score — there’s plenty here for you. Go to Full Review

Lee C Oct 17 Season 1 of this show is fun and engaging, if a bit violent at times. Unfortunately, the second season is a disappointment. See more Linus D Mar 3 Tbh bad story and not value See more Marshall V Feb 1 Bruv they were cooking See more Stefano C Jan 11 Absolutely Perfect See more Nawt W 11/24/2023 Exceedingly gripping from the first opening scene onwards, this show's high concept, cinematography, and soundtrack create an amazing thriller that we unfortunately will never see the conclusion of because British television is some kind of intensely competitive rooster ring. See more Kev K 10/14/2023 Funny, violent and addictive. Great television with an almost perfect cast, and the question "Where is Jessica Hyde" will stay with you for a long time.
