Culprits

Enjoyable crime caper romp once you suspend disbelief and settle into compulsive viewing and treat yourself to 10 episodes of " what's gonna happen next " ? Excellent performances by all the cast , and particular credit to an actor playing " Muscle " who was previously unknown to me but who I would expect to see and hear alot about in the future . Marvellous cameo appearance by the ever reliable ( if OTT ) Eddie Izzard and Gemma Atherton played the anti-heroine beautifully, menacingly brilliantly. I would not be disappointed if there was a squel and it stands alone well as a one off but more of this would be welcome.

It's pretty refreshing these days when you see characters in a thriller/drama acting rationally in intense situations. They don't make dumb choices, they take excessive measures and doesn't half ass anything.

This show is definitely not breaking any new grounds, but is very well executed and never feels boring or stagnant. Production is good, about on par with your typical British drama and all that entails.

Some really satisfying scenes early on, especially the one where main guy gets kidnapped but realizes it's not by the people he thought it was.

Overall, highly recommend for those that like British shows, and crime thrillers in general.

It's a decent watch, but only if you don't think too hard about the things that happen throughout it.

I'm only on episode 6, but already the things that have happened are far too unrealistic, if you were really to do a job like this, you'd have to have reconstructive surgery with the technology we have at our disposal today, David/Muscle only cuts an inch of his hair off, the rest are unchanged and are surprised they're getting found! That's is just one of MANY reasons not to take this series too seriously, so don't go into this thinking it's a hard core crime thriller, it's more in the realm of a light superhero scenario with the super powers being able to occur things they need as and when out of thin air almost.

But still enjoyable while you watch.

I did not have high expectations after reading some reviews but I enjoyed the season and was not disappointed by the end. A cross between a Guy Ritchie and a Tarantino movie it certainly had a high violence content - but not cartoon violence as seen in John Wick It's well paced but lacks a bit of character development. It makes good use of flashbacks which were confusing at times and part of the storyline seemed a bit underdeveloped but it did not have much impact on the overall story. Eddie Izzard's role was a bit underwhelming. If you are looking for a series to binge watch it's not a bad choice.

Really enjoyed this series which had a good balance of back story building and present day action with the story flitting between the past and present while keeping the viewer in the dark as to who did what and who is double crossing who along with who is good and who is bad but the only thing that let it down was casting Eddie Izzard on a gangster type role as all I can see Eddie as is Tony P from The Mystery Men movie which I s a shame. But overall an entertaining watch which kept me intrigued to the end . The acting was good and kept me watching until the end . Some really good parts in particular with Nathan Stewart-Jarrett showing a good range in acting and why he will be a bigger star in the future.
