Anyone started watching this? Sky funded and all available on demand today if you want to binge it. Wasn't immediately sold on Julia Stiles but she's growing on me and there are quite a few twists and turns. Excellent production quality and writing. Sky are really pushing original content these days. Just finished episode three.
I'm almost done, just 2 to go. Loving it but I'm slightly in love with Julia Styles ever since 10 Things I Hate About You. I also really like the son who was in Game of Thrones and a little known CH4 series called Misfits.
I'm really looking forward to the last 2 and I think it's great that Sky Atlantic are doing with this kind of stuff. Beautifully shot and very stylish.

Going against the grain but i thought it was over-hyped, as much as i enjoy Julia Stiles as an actor i didn't think the part suited her.

Oversold as "This years Night Watchman" , plotholes , daft characters , unbelievable script that didn't seem to know what it was doing. 5/10 sorry.
Agree with both of the above - thought the ending very weak.Battling through this with the mrs, up to EP7 now.
Is very slow and the acting is terrible. Added to that the plot is pretty holey - no chance a billionaire family would be in a police station without an army of lawyers amongst other things.
I don't hate it, but wouldn't be rushing back for a second series.

Finished it last night. Got far too stupid towards the end - not stupid in a "this is a bit far fetched" kind of way (although there was an awful lot of that as well), but stupid in a "this makes no sense whatsoever" kind of way.
The russian with the bowl cut kidnapping Cristos - why??? Makes no sense, he could have just asked her for the key seeing as they were basically in cahoots against the other Russians.
Noone questions bowlcut when he dissapears for ages at the wedding to batter a guy and presumably returns wearing a whole new set of clothes.
The russian assasin who gets a bullet in her head - noone wants to talk to the woman who was talking to her 5 seconds before it happened and who was doused in her blood?
Cristos and the girl essentially wandered out of a secure rehab centre without anyone stopping them... Also, how long were they supposed to be in rehab - seems like months, but a day or two has passed?
Has he really been walking about with a bracelet that doubles as a USB key without questioning it at all?
What sort of billionaire drives a Mini?
Why rig her car to explode when she unlocks it rather than when she starts it? chances are you will be halfway across the car park when it blows...
Kidnapping the kid and then playing a weird mother and father routine?
Her seemingly turning from a art dealer to a kidnapping murderer in the space of 5 minutes.
WHY DID NONE OF THEM EVER TELL THE POLICE ANY OF THIS?
She somehow sails off into the sunset, alone, on a massive yacht, with a dead body on board?
On top of all the gaping plot holes, the acting was wooden and the redhead nutter daughter had the most distracting teeth to gum ratio ever.
First 6 episodes (when the Interpol guy was doing his inept, first day of acting school thing) were maybe 6/10 - rubbish acting and a bit slow, but bearable.
The last ones were just stupid and didn't manage to pull it off. I didn't really care what happened to the characters and spent most of the time wondering how the script was approved. 2/10
