This is indeed another masterpiece by the Director despite the sniping from the sidelines which I believe have more to do with professional rivalry than genuine concerns from SOME directions regarding historical accuracy. If Robert De Nero doesn't win an Oscar for a spellbounding performance then there is something wrong . His alleged " pupil " Di Caprio has finally completed the transition from a " pretty face " which he began with " The Revenant " , sidestepped with a couple of lightweight movies but has now completed his metamorphosis into a mature truly talented actor . As always , a solid supporting cast of great talent mixed with little know cast members round off another stellar movie .

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.

Yet another menopausal female detective but this time from French Canada rather than Skandi Noir . Possibly would benefit from blitz watching but frankly too slow paced ( nothing much happens in each episode ) and I'm pretty sure I have most of it worked out after the first 3 or 4 episodes but frankly not that interested in who did what to whom or why . Some reviewers mentioning extreme violence must have watched more than me and I may be tempted to watch the final 2 episodes when Channel 4 UK airs them just to see if I am correct in my theories as to the perpetrator or perpetrators but won't waste anymore time watching what goes on in the mean time .
