Spotless

An absolute must series! (Well you obviously could pass, but more fool you). People that gave a low rating must have been distracted or just negative people for crime dramas in general. It's enticing, thrilling, sick and twisted, humorous at parts without being cheesy like some series are, it's certainly not a comedy.

First couple episodes are the slowest, but like all good series, necessary to paint the picture and set the journey off, having said that, the first two are still very good!

The series at times reminds me of Luther, in its feel of a show. However, it's not a cop investigation series in the same manner. Without giving any spoilers, I can see how some are making a similarity of one aspect of Spotless to that of Breaking bad, but it really isn't like watching Breaking Bad in the slightest, so don't expect either repetition or plagiarism.

I would have gave it 9.5 if the option was there, as 'Stranger Things' and 'Peaky Blinders' are the 10 bench mark. But going down to 9 seemed to unfair for a rare series that got me to watch all 10 episodes in 2 days!

This show has excellent plotting, acting, and strong themes. It's suspenseful and entertaining. It's also filmed beautifully. Other reviewers mentioned Dexter--there is a similarity with the crime scenes, but I think this show handles that element with more artistry than Dexter did, and also handles the main character's exploration of the darkness people are capable of with more elegance and certainly more complexity.

Most of all, it's an incredibly astute and surprising character study, not just of the main characters, but of an entire cast of weird and wonderful people. Not one character is stock. I can't remember the last time I deeply cared about each and every character on a show. Some of them I hated (one, in particular, is one of the most flawed and frightening I can ever recall on TV), but I cared what happened to them all and could relate in some way to even the most disturbing of them.

A great show. I can't believe I'd never heard of it before I saw it on Netflix and for some reason decided to try it.

The first two to three episodes were really intriguing. They had a great concept story and fantastic characters in the supposed villain and funny brother. Suddenly it started going downhill from episode 4 making no sense whatsoever. Rating went down further 2 stars after episode 6 - totally senseless now. Its exhausting to finish this now. The lead was the worst cast but the writer just deviated from gold to a puddle of mess

Stumbled upon this on Netflix and the premise of the story caught my attention. Lets just say Spotless has a Breaking Bad sort of vibe. A guy who wants to do good but ends up doing the bad. It has its laughable moments but personally I think throughout the 10 episodes it was a rather solid series. Its a shame that there will probably never be a season2, but I do hope it gets picked up continue where it left off. Enjoyable series I must say!

My only regret is that I can't be a newbie and watch this series all over again from scratch, that's how much pleasure it gave me. What terrific casting. What great writing. You never know what's going to happen next. Wonderful.

One thing that I loved the most was the brother "Martin." He looks much like Robert Mitchum looked in Cape Fear, if R. M. had been much more hirsute. What a fun "bad boy" character. Denis Ménochet (Martin) exudes the same combination of quiet menace, boxer boy body and charisma as Mitchum had, too. Lots more of a softy at heart, though. A very good brother to have around, if only to make your life a lot more exciting. A real treat to watch.

The whole series is just one big luscious bag of tasty fun. I envy those of you who will be seeing it for the first time. Enjoy.
