Emma Loffhagen London Evening Standard Sep 22, 2023
4/5
Excellently-paced and satisfyingly unpredictable, the combination of Ingrid and John’s fatal attraction-esque relationship and the plot’s incessant twists and turns makes for a proper hold-your-breath affair. Go to Full Review

M D P @RT11302800 Sep 2, 2026 It is really quite good. None of the characters are overly likeable which makes it a lot more difficult to choose whose narrative to believe. Every episode has a key twist or suspenseful set piece. I was gripped till the end, shame it is leaving Neftlix but we get to keep all the generic, badly acted ludicrously set Harlon Coben tosh. See more Brenda L @Bbee1947 Feb 28, 2026 It’s almost as if the actors were outperforming each other in acting school. It was back and forth did he didn’t he. Not for me. See more Helen S @Hks21 Jan 5, 2026 This did not warrant a series - maybe 2 episodes…not 6!! I lost hours of my life watching what went on for far too long and was obvious from the start. The twists and turns at the end are not well done, plot holes everywhere See more janie g @RT98428924 Sep 19, 2025 Predictable and frankly boring. The main character is just so huffy/outraged and all the other characters are weak and/or uninteresting. It doesn’t always make sense. The main suspect guy (stalker) has a bad dye job. I am an optimist so I watched all the episodes hoping there would be an improvement…. But no. Crapola. See more W. W @RT65216149 Jan 2, 2025 I was about to post a review when I decided to read the comments (other reviews). Half of the people liked it, thought it was thrilling... the other half hated it. One thing I do agree with is the main character is unlikeable. The "Twists & turns" people speak of just confused me. It's like getting dizzy on an amusement park ride but without the initial fun of it. I haven't finished the series and not sure if I will as it just doesn't hold my attention. Typically English shows like this I love, prefer to American shows, but not this one. See more Grant M @RT92789094 Oct 23, 2024 I got 20 minutes into episode 1 and couldn't continue. Yet another show where the characters are unbelievable (especially the incredibly poorly written male characters). How can the writers expect viewers to get engaged when we can't imagine ever being involved in dialogue like what was being spoken? I've lived and worked in London in professional services, and this is so jarring compared to reality that it just left me bored immediately. Surely this isn't as good as it gets these days???
