Series 1, 2 and 3 have it all: logical but endlessly twisting storylines, believable and deep characters who develop through the episodes, and literally breathtaking action. The best I've seen on DVD in years.

This is the best TV show I've ever seen. I've binge watched a lot of absolute toss but damn this series is on another level. S3 finale, daaaaaamn. The only thing that I love more is Star Trek. Longmire is fun and I love it too, but it's no comparison.

The first two series were simply brilliant. The later part of the third series, in particular the last episode, were poor... in fact, unbelievable. I cannot believe how bad Series 4 is and I am struggling to get past Episode 3. It is contrived, unbelievable and quite simply dire rubbish. Jed Mercurio has completely lost the plot, putting people in impossible positions and then just having them magic themselves out of it. There is a police interview in Episode 3 which is just laughable... why would the police do what they did when they know the police tapes will be heard? They would end up in court themselves. What I can't understand is why the actors, production team couldn't see how bad this last series is... and somehow or other, many audience think it is great. No wonder the world is having problems!

I came across this show on Netflix one night, the general rule for unknown shows is to watch the first episode to get a feel for it before considering watching anymore. Life's to short to waste on bad TV.After the first episode of this show I watched the entire season 1 that same evening. Season 2 the following day. Because there's only 5-6 episodes a season the story moves along quickly, The acting is excellent the stories are well written you can't see where it's going and it's highly addictive. If you plan to watch it give yourself time because you probably won't just watch one. Because the suspects are coppers and know the system and how to play it, it makes for a gripping time. Do yourself a favour and watch it first episode and get cooked. Enjoy
