The main character gets my sympathy immediately - first scene where his mother's lover is killed by him as a boy to protect his brother. As soon as his brother shows up with a body containing drugs, you know it's going to get much worse. What a beautiful family and predictably dragged into a world of death and betrayal. The tension up until the last episode had me fast forwarding to the conclusions of each loose end, but disappointed that his wife and children are missing without closure; and that the brother who slept with gangsters wife hasn't seen the end of her or her husband. Please, please, please continue with another season! There is so little to watch that has such talented writers, directors and a superb cast that fit each role perfectly.

Total Rip Off Snooze Fest. This "Spotless" should be paying a few different Shows it steals ideas from. It has moments of originality but they are shoehorned into the Show for effect without reason or even any effort to present the vaguest of logic. Not one person behaves in a believable fashion over the piece. The story swiftly becomes embarrassingly repeatedly contrived, and laughably Incredible. The main guys are dullards and you don't care about anyone in it. Appalling drivel. It's Full of a smug presumption that the viewers will accept any gimmicky twist or turn thrown at them. Staggeringly arrogant of them and, from the millions that switched off before it was scrapped in France, utterly wrongheaded. It comes across as if the original scripts were written in French, then translated into English by a non-English speaker.

The story here is interesting. I watched the first two and got totally attached. The characters are quirky but serious at the right times. I first thought maybe this is a bit like Dexter but then realized they put the plots in organized crime rather than vigilante. The Highlight of the show is the character Jean. Love this actor. But best of all is seeing (Mr. Bates of Downton) as the Crime Boss (Brendon Coyle). I look forward to more of this show. It is not resolved, and do hope there is more. Quality of Brit Crime shows surpasses all others in my opinion, this does not disappoint. While there are some points I wanted to thump Jean upside the head, for things he does. Give it a watch its great TV entertainment. I watched on Netflix.

I watched the first 6 episodes. The first two were intriguing and I thought the premise had a lot of possibilities. Good acting (except for the two French guys) reasonable dialogue, bit 'Hollywood' production. But watching almost an entire episode of the two supposedly nasty protagonists hammering away at each other while discussing the meaning of life, that was just too much ... too silly, too unrealistic, totally absurd. Who writes this crap ? It's like another series that came out a couple of years ago called The American. Great premise, great opening, then it just petered out with absurdities. I'm not going to bother with the rest of the series. Waste of time.
