It's not terrible but just very very predictable. I knew who the real killer was in the first episode. It almost feels like a remake of a story from 205 years when the "twists" might be regarded as surprising.
It's also difficult as there's only one or two vaguely likeable characters. And they're all so entitled its hard to connect with any of them. The attempt at creating an ordinary character in the cafe manager and her boyfriend is hopelessly hackneyed.
The whole show is quite bleak in its messaging - everyone has a dark side and everyone is capable of doing horrible things. Fair enough - but we're not talking a secret smoking habit or a penchant for plushie porn everyone here is a murderer, serial adulterer, S&M fanatic and completely devoid of a moral centre! Even the hero detective is unrelatable. Thank goodness for Julie Graham, who even in a small role can spin straw into acting gold.
