What a great ride! I binge watched this series and had the best time. Very strong character and story development. I like knowing a bit about lead characters lives, it helps reveal their motivations behind chouces they make. The mystery is a mystery to the end, with plenty of nail biting, edge of your seat scenes. The tone is reminiscent of Elizabeth George's mysteries, which I adore. The actors are top notch and believable. I'll watch anything they're in now, provided I can find it here in the US. I love mysteries and spy thrillers, and my favorites of each genre are out of the UK. Can't go wrong here with this mystery series. I highly recommend.

The title should be an indication, but let me state it here - this is a dark film, and a very well made one. Since this isn't typically my genre for films, I was surprised at positive my reaction was to this film. I had the privilege of seeing it twice before it was released in theaters, and I regret neither time.

Despite some sections of dialogue going on a little too long, I found the concept to be intriguing, and the characters to be tragic as well as engaging. I wanted to follow their journey, and I wanted them to succeed in their lives - defining that success, though, is put on its ear in this story. I thought the ending was satisfying, and the twists and turns a great ride.

I'll be following this writer and this director for a very long time.
