I am stunned to see so many negative reviews, when you look at viewing figures for this show the opinion of the General Public clearly did not share such a negative view, the show ended with more viewers then it started with.
Rape must be one of the most henous crimes of all, particularly in light of the many stories worldwide. A victim asking the question why me, and why should the perpetrator be allowed to get away with it.
Ioan Gruffudd and joanne froggatt are sensational throughout, such is the quality of the acting, and the writing that your sympathies switch from one character to another's, as does your anger.
I think it got better as it went on, the Fifth part had me on the edge of my seat, the concluding episode also so well done, leaving us all desperate for Series Two.
Bravo 9/10

This was a good series, until they decided to stretch it into two seasons. Watch the first season - everything is there to resolve the mystery but don't bother with the second. It destroys the character arch and has a disappointing resolution to the needless 2nd season. I give the first season a 7 (good) our if 10. {Who done it?}
Psychological thriller
Binge worthy
Peels back all the nasty layers before a series of twists and backflips. I really liked this storyline. Definitely worth watching.
Had high hopes for this drama, but it was dragged out too long. It would have been more intense and edgy if it had been edited to about 3 episodes. Lost credibility when Laura takes on the investigative role and tries to solve her own case.
I actually enjoyed this series very much! Watched it in two days run and was very entertained the whole way through. The characters are well rounded, the atmosphere is spooky and (I think) believable. They actors were splendid and I think the plot - and the twists, were all very well written. Also a great cinematography. Yes, maybe some of the things or decisions seem 'out there' (have you ever watched a classic horror), but come on, this is a show - reality may not be THAT entertaining nor dramatic, but this is not reality. I came to see a thrilling, exciting series and I got exactly that. And I would gladly watch season 2. Pleased.
