Wild! There is one particular twist/turn - in the first episode - that is worth the price of admission. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about it. But then I haven't read the book. There are certainly things to object to - maybe some bits are OTT and sometimes the dialog is formulaic - but I will keep watching to see how the plot and direction develop. Also, the actors who play the "police" baddies - Iwon Rheon Sacha Dhawan - are superb. I don't quite understand why viewers are being so critical of the series; it's not as if I was expecting Tolstoy. I encourage people to give this series a chance.
I more often than not abandon many a series because they simply fail to hold my attention. This one kept me watching! The characters are interesting and quirky and the story moves along at a fast pace with no time for boredom to take hold. I've watched the first two episodes and at this point I'm eagerly awaiting the next .
I'm not overly keen on Ukweli Roache's portrayal of Caffrey which is quite flat and weak but other than him the cast are very engaging. The Anchor -Ferrers' and the home invaders are played superbly with a darkly comic slant and horrible as the baddies are you can't look away. I'm not sure why there are so many poor reviews ~ In my view this is very watchable.

I thought this series was brilliant. Honestly don't know why people ain't talking more about this one because its very dark, quite gory in some parts and well acted. Every episode keeps you guessing and making you want to watch more. Sacha Dhawan and Iwan Rheon as Honey and Molina were such a blast in this they were fantastic, their acting talents are really being wasted on british television they are Emmy worthy in this. Ukweli Roach as DI Jack Cafferty was great he was perfectly casted in the role. As well as some of the supporting roles were excellent such as Owen Teale surprisingly not playing a villain here, Juliet Stevenson, Sian Reese Williams and Annes Elwy were all fantastic.
Every episode makes the mystery more juicy and the pay-off was fantastic. The only downside about this is that there does seem like too many questions to answer by the final episode but surprisingly the finale didn't feel rushed. Its an excellent series highly recommend.

I going against the grain so far and saying I really enjoyed this, although I've only seen the one episode. There's some nicely over-the-top Inside Number 9 style black comedy behind the genuine suspense and horror, and, although the whole thing is quite baffling, I'm looking forward to seeing more. The two local "detectives" are hilariously sinister, there's some genuinely funny lines of dialogue, and it'll be interesting to see how the three main plot lines fit together. If indeed they ever do.
Ignore the predictable anti-beeb bias you always get from certain comments here and give it a go. You may enjoy it, you may not.

I like Mo Hayder's books, and although Wolf wasn't her best work, the source material was much better than this, it at least had a couple of moments of brillance. This has none. It starts ok but only gets worse. The added characters are poor. Caffery is unlikeable, uninteresting, and his pain and anguish carry no real weight or emotion, which couldn't be more different to the books and is probably the biggest failure of this show. Both the acting (stilted) and the screenplay (flat) are to blame for this failure. The 2 actors playing the "baddies" do a great job but this storyline unfortunately gets unbelievable pretty quickly (same as the book).
