I don't know why there are so many negative reviews about this series. It might not be "True Detectives" but its definitely holding its own. Each episode WILL leave you wanting more, which is a pretty good indicator of good TV in my book. Every time you're SURE you have it figured out, here comes another curve ball. The unknown/unfamiliar cast does a great job. Who doesn't have love for "Black Jack Rackam of Black Sails", "Sam Merlot of True Blood" and "Daniel Holden of Rectify"? Don't let other peoples negative opinions sway you from at least trying this series and forming your OWN opinion.

I really binged this mini series. I found the characters interesting as well as the plot. However, I must say that it left too many loose ends to be solved, as many of the former reviews are saying. I do like a thriller, in which I wonder by the end, what will happen next. But in this case, I was left with too many questions. This is why, I give it 7 instead of 8.

Not bad, not great, but it has enough suspense to pass the time!

Why go through the trouble of shooting 10 episodes, full of drama, and go to great lengths to build back stories that we invest in, making us want more and more. After we have committed our precious time you go and then bomb us with the most confusing and anti climatic ending!?!?!?!?

It's alright, it's not one of those dramas that will have you desperate to see the next episode or reach the conclusion, partly because there isn't much of a mystery, the only true mystery is how on Earth can some of the killer's nearest and dearest be so stupid.

It's interesting enough, I like that we see the killer functioning fairly normally with everyday life, and masking their true nature, but incredulity becomes an issue. We are left with lots of loose ends.

The acting is decent, although it is a bit patchy in parts, nice production values.

It is overlong, they could have made it a little more exciting, and had it in six parts, instead they allowed the middle section to drag, the penultimate and opening episode were the best installments, the finale was very disappointing, it doesn't actually progress at all.

A second series isn't needed, it's a decent watch, 6/10.

It's not a bad show by any stretch, the acting is great all around, but the script has a few too many dumb moments that hold the show back a bit.

There is one bit in particular where a lady asks a priest why God wants people to confess in addition to repenting, and the priest's response is "because that is what he asks."

Seriously? That's the best they could do?

There are a couple of other minor moments here and there, but that's the one that really stood out.

Also,, we didn't really need this show. Serial killers in general are a bit passe, and there really isn't anything original here. It's a show to watch if you like a crime-thriller-drama-things that doesn't require much thought, and it helps the acting is pretty decent.

On the other hand at least it isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, and thank Christ there isn't a quirky medical examiner.

I'm thrilled to have binged this Netflix series, while it may have wrapped itself up completely by the last episode, it pleasantly satisfies my "inner psychologist", analyzing each characters movements, mannerisms, and how "normal" people may seem but deep down have it in them to be a killer and why. It may not appeal to everyone's taste, it certainly appealed to mine.

This is a quick season to finish, with beautiful scenery and an interesting story line. A great watch if you are looking for a break from Criminal Minds calibre and want something less sinister and pulse racing and want something with abit more heart.

I hope we get a season 2 of this, the leads are incredible and I would love to see more of them as the tortured serialkiller and detective

I liked it but ended up a little dissapointed of the ending. It was built up and just crashed

Ok series My issue was pretending it was California. Cali tags on vehicles etc. but none of scenery even the ocean/beaches are Cali. And the beautiful bats emerging at night are very large flying foxes which we do not have in California much less the US!

Why not just let it be in Australia???

Does anyone know what the deal is with Mike brushing his teeth and grunting? It's hilarious but really confusing. Surely his wife should be telling him he's doing it wrong?

Sooo .. During Coronavirus lockdown you can end up watching some really bad content . However I really loved Reckoning .For a while I couldn't work out who did it .The unraveling of the story is literally that , normally you watch a cop show and it's all solved before you get to put the kettle on for your first T break . Anyway no spoilers here , just watch this mini series you won't be disappointed ...Tim

Another one-season mini series from netflix. the lead actors are from all over: Canada, US, and New Zealie. and apparently at least parts were filmed in Australia, but no-one has an aussie accent. Detectives Serrato and Ramos are backtracking on the latest murder victim. Gretchen was a student at the local school, and this could be the work of a known serial killer. some complications. dysfunctional families (aren't they all?) autistic son. rebellious daughters. mixed reviews . it does move pretty slowly. and there's some question whether or not there will be a second season... some hints online that there will be more eps in 2022 if enough money is recouped from season one. produced by Playmaker Media, an aussie production company, which has made a TON of other things as well. this season directed by Shawn Seet, Jennifer Leacey, and Peter Andrikidis.

It's a good idea with not such good acting.

I think they can leave it in half the time and it will be more credible

This series features a storyline that meanders into thin air. There's no progression in the plot and no development in otherwise totally inconsistent main characters. I have a hard time understanding what this show is about, or where it wants to go. I don't think the makers didn't know either.

Hmm...good performances all round, although this played out like a domestic drama more than the thriller and mystery I was expecting. It seemed to sail along at a slow and steady pace, not really taking off at any point. Watched it all, waiting for some kind of twist or exciting moment but it never came. By the end of it, I'm just left wondering, what was the point?

It's not that easy to review this series. There are times when the tension is quite good, and it makes you want to keep with it. However, there are so many disjointed scenes that it can become irritating to continue watching. Sadly, too, there are very few characters to root for. Even the head cop seems to be a messed up human being that is unlikable at times. The kids will drive you crazy, even more so than the average kid does. I did stick with the series, but was not rewarded with a satisfying ending. Talk about leaving something undone... this ending is the epitome of that. Perhaps they were wanting to leave the door open for a second season of the series, but I have no desire to spend more time with these characters. All in all, not the worst thriller I've seen, but far from the best either.

If you are running out of thrillers give this a shot but it is lacking. I echo some of the other reviews - flawed police investigation with door step interviews, lack of police procedures throughout. Main cop is totally weak and unlikeable and all these visions and flashbacks are rather tedious. I started watching harlan coben's the woods and gave up but managed to persevere with this one. It is watchable and good but not great.
