Critics Consensus

Viewers will be right to suspect that they've seen this brooding procedural formula before, but the reliable Aidan Turner makes this slick thriller worth checking out.

The thriller keeps ratcheting up the stakes as the plot rockets along, taking unexpected twists and surprising turns. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 10/06/2022
This supposed psychological thriller series is painfully grating from the outset, mainly because no character behaves like a real person. Go to Full Review Louis Chilton Independent (UK) 09/02/2022
3/5
This is, after all, completely frivolous entertainment. It is the froth that’s been scraped from the surface of other, better crime dramas. God help me, though -- it’s suckered me in. Go to Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof 02/03/2023

... Quite an entertaining and solvent thriller. It is somewhat more straightforward than it seems with all the twists, which, is appreciated. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba 11/08/2022
I was reared on PBS Masterpiece/Mystery, and it taught me well. So when I say this is one of the worst I’ve seen, believe me, I come with receipts. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) 09/09/2022
I’d like to believe the use of Parkinson’s was an innovative way of raising awareness of the condition, rather than just another wheeling out of that tired old cliche, the disabled villain, whose outward flaws signify their inner turmoil. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Mike I @RT89100179 Nov 24 Generally a clever, well done murder mystery, but the lead inspector and his doofus detective sergeant are so obviously narrow minded and biased that they make the entire show childishly sophomoric. They are like most clowns in law enforcement who come to ready, biased, unfounded positions , and then spend all their time seeking facts to back up their silly positions. Very childish, makes English top law enforcement people look stupid and biased. See more Cathy v @RT77807147 03/26/2025 Turgid and so bad it's almost unwatchable. The dialogue reads like a 10-year-old's essay. The plot is unlikely and has holes big enough for the Hindenburg to fly through sideways. I thought bad AI had written it but Grok assures me the writing was human. Utter bilge overall. See more Mimi L @RT44822120 12/06/2024 I am a big Aidan Turner fan, but boy did I hate this series. It was pretty over the top and that includes Aidan Turner’s beard. It was so big it was distracting. I didn’t find this at all intriguing. It was boring and plodding. See more Farah R @Farah 11/07/2023 While the premise and acting were good, this psychological thriller suffers from poor execution and predictable twists. See more Marianna K @RT00009010 08/25/2023 This show really tests the limits of plausability. It was ok to watch with twists and turns to keep you interested, but it was totally silly and required a lot of suspension of disbelief. See more B C @That_Brett 11/06/2022 This show was entertaining. But, the plumber was easy to figure out. See more Read all reviews
