    I binged the first three episodes last night. It's good, tense, and decent enough evening TV fodder.

    The plot mechanisms are a little far-fetched and unrealistic in places but forgivable in the pursuit of dramatic entertainment.

    My biggest problem is I have never liked watching Tim Roth act, because he never seems to quite get there somehow. He's always acting, and all I can see is a little acting man doing an accent and adopting the bodily mannerisms of somebody that he clearly isn't. I always think of him as somebody who paid for a one-week intensive training course in method acting hosted by somebody who once met somebody who claimed to have been trained in the method.

    • I'm six episodes in. What this show truly excels at is endings that scream at you to start watching the next episode immediately. Not exactly cliff-hangers...Muncher
