AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO WATCHED IT TO THE END?


surprised that there is not more talk on here about the end of this drama.

I can't have been the only person to watch it to the end?

I watched it all.

Not really blown away by the ending. It was OKish I suppose.

Callum's scenery chewing in the final episode was highly embarrassing, and the scene where he tried to shoot Dieter but couldn't get a clean shot was filmed in a very amateurish fashion.

Anyway, it passed the time pleasantly enough.

SPOILER ALERT. I did, and I'm sorry. Possibly the worst series I've seen in years. I kept watching hoping it would get better, but it only got worse! They spend seven episodes presenting Dieter as human, sweet little girl and all, and then they knock him off? Totally AWFUL in every way, but especially in character motivation. There was none. And why was Angela Bassett there?

It definitely rewards perseverance. I read some of the reviews here part way through the series and agreed with many of the criticisms but it held my attention and the plot twists were enough to make it an enjoyable watch.
Like so many productions from big name writers/directors it was probably over hyped thus raising expectations unrealistically.
The locations were superb

I am two episodes behind but I guess I will get there eventually.

I guess there is not much discussion because a lot of people bailed out early on knowing it was not much cop.

It's that man again!!

Yes. I stopped too. Nothing was happening and the acting was not what I was expecting from British show. Very disappointing. Jericho was more interesting.
