Acceptable Risk

This was utterly painful to watch. The worst part was the horrible speech patterns of "Dr Hoffman" and the detective guy from Canada, which is weird since he actually IS Canadian. Siri on my phone has a more natural diction than these two. Also why are the FBI operating abroad? Makes no sense. Its slow and likely could have been done just as well (badly) in 3 episodes. I don't usually expect great stuff out of Canada (I'm Canadian) but had higher hopes for Ireland/Europe.

Watching on Amazon Prime and only 5 epiosdes available!!! Also-to the one revieweer-this was set in Montreal, there are no RCMP in Quebec..they have ther own provincial police.... but, you are right -for the miniscule canadian connection, they manged to get Canadian funding. That sucks when so many of us Canadian producers are desperate for funding for our films!

I'm a stickler for good research and continuity. I got off to a bad start with the scenes in Ireland being in early fall and the ones in Montreal (supposedly happening at the same time) being in freezing cold February. When production errors like that happen, it's distracting and I find I simply can't get fully absorbed into the plot.

And could they not find a francophone actor to play the Montreal police Detective Dusquene? Instead, they chose Alberta-born Geordie Johnson, who I'm sure, could at least have uttered a few words of French now and then to give him some credibility.

At best, the acting is OK, but maybe I was spoiled from just finishing the amazing Night Sky, with Sissy Spacek and J. K. Simmons.

I made it to the end, which is something. But without the above glaring issues, I would have rated it much higher.

The only real downside for me is Morten Suurballe's strange robotic speech pattern. It sounds so unnatural.

What an excellent series, very well written, as far as I could find, by an older writer. The twists and turns will keep the viewer waiting in suspense for answers. Treachery at every turn, characters and dialogue excellent. A good even pace is achieved from the opening episode. Once I started watching I couldn't turn my tv off. I watched it all through in one sitting, all 6 episodes. An excellent Canadian an Ireland coproduction. Hope to see further by this team.
