Spotless

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.

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!

The lead really is super poor in acting skills. Looks constipated most of the time and lacks expressions otherwise. The remaining cast is great but the writer really needed to use the chars there Bette and make this a dark drama instead of showing some justified side of a character who is shady to begin with.

Just finished watching this series on Netflix and loved it. Can't wait for series 2.

I watch films and dramas to be entertained and realise they are fiction not reality so a bit of artistic licence is given. Were there elements which made me question the script? Yes, the daughter possibly would be more believable were she 14 or 15 in the script not 13 but as the father of a 15 year old daughter myself maybe I'm over sensitive in this area.

I too wouldn't have minded more foreign language where appropriate accompanied by subtitles but a mass audience might disagree.

I found the characters fully believable and immersed myself in their lives. There was enough subtlety in the acting to allow degrees of hatred, sympathy or identification. The storyline kept me engaged throughout the episodes filling in gaps as it went along.

For me it was a no question 10/10

Watched it without knowing anything about the series in advance.

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
