Residue

I was hooked...and then it was over? I didn't read ahead to realize there was only THREE episodes. There is no ending, which is a huge drawback. This was an amazing storyline with incredible special effects and great acting. If anything should've been given a full season (and maybe a second) it was this gem. Watch it once, wonder why the production company would think this is a good way of doing things, and then move on.

The characters are somewhat interesting, though not always believable. It would seem that the series was terminated abruptly as there are all sorts of loose ends in the final episode. The tone of the series is 'dark' an understatement, given that the writers did do a decent job of making the characters as interesting as possible. As mentioned before in other reviews the season is only 3 episodes long and therefore seems to indicate it may not have been well received. Pity, as the series starts to get interesting and reveals some of its secrets in the final episode. Those who are X-files fans will see some familiar tropes being played out here. So enjoy the ride while you can, as it stops abruptly.

I saw this on Netflix, it's a really promising start to a very interesting story. I didn't know Netflix were doing pilots, nor in business with the indie sector so this is a very exciting step for all of us who watch their content regularly and like shows such as Utopia and Black Mirror. This show feels very British but is also handling story on its own terms. I was reminded of Black Mirror as this also subverts story convention and run its story in a mini-series format for this first season. This feels anything but conventional but be warned, these first three chapters end on a massive cliff hanger, so there looks to be a wait in store before it goes any further. I would say bear this in mind before you watch this otherwise you will be annoyed! The story set up in these three parts (intriguing length for a pilot) combines sci-fi, the paranormal, a government conspiracy and a massive great big quarantine zone unlike anything I've seen right in the middle of a future-set British metropolis. I would say get to the third episode as it gets visually really interesting right there. The vibe is dark but the show looks great, and the cast are really strong at pulling you into this world. I would recommend this if you are the type who looks to spot future hits and gets into the action early.

I have seen this series a few times now and would whole heartedly recommend it for anyone interested in a exciting TV series with interesting characters including Jennifer (played by Game of Thrones star Natalia Tena) and helmed with style by director Alex Garcia (misfits, Utopia).

It's superbly shot with great scale and is a step above recent UK TV releases. The mystery starts with a bang and the action doesn't let up from there. Amidst the chaos lie ethereal entities that could be tricks of the mind. Conflicts and corruption perforate every inch of the world and are a symptom of a society hurtling out of control. It's in this uncertainty that our protagonists are searching for the truth which could take them to the brink!

I won't say any more but suffice it to say I can't wait for the 2nd season!

A visually interesting show, with ideas and imagery taken from other shows. Parts of it reminded me of The X Files and others, Bladerunner. Like everyone else, I think the story should have been resolved, the problem being that some will think it's not sufficiently interesting or original to watch a second season. If there is one. A shame because despite a great looking show, the story really doesn't progress and at times, the plot seemed to drift rather than focus on reaching a conclusion.
