disgusting, overrated, pointless

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

This sounded like an interesting and original premise and I had high hopes. David Morrissey carries some weight as Inspector Borlu and he is on the whole watchable. Mandeep Dhillon is very pretty but seriously miscast in the role of hard-edged, plain talking sidekick Lizbyet Corwi. Her posh-drama-school-mockney characterisation is woefully unconvincing. The plot offers nothing that has not been seen before in either sci fi or detective fiction. Sadly disappointing.

Wow, a brilliant thought provoking series that I am going to watch again.A real change from the usual US cliched formulaic dross.Long live independent TV.

I think the writer and producer and director are largely at fault here. Script development and appreciation of source material is so poor and shows that it takes great skill to convert a novel to the screen. Too many assumptions are made, that the viewer will know the world into which we descend. Far too much inappropriate swearing by actors who look lost and vague, with those who are chain smoking clearly I'll at ease with the poisonous habit and as such fail to convince us that they are real smokers so it creates scenes that look incongruous nay ridiculous. The plotting is clumsy and laborious. The photography/ lighting is reasonably well done, but spoiled by the rest of the ingredients. It doesn't look like much money was spent on the production, which is probably a blessing for the tax payers, but really the whole thing shouldn't have been given the go ahead.

So far I've struggled through 3 of the 4 episodes,it's extremely slow moving non of the characters are that interesting and there's very little plot development. David Morrissey plays the lead but his acting range is so ltd just like in Britannia fails to bring anything to the role.
It's set in a city that is actually split into 2 cities but whichever part someone lives in, the other half of the city is blurred out and then there might be a secret 3rd city inside the other 2 cities,i know right
It's supposed to be a murder mystery but Morrissey seems more concerned in using the investigation to find his missing wife who he thinks might've left him for the mysterious 3rd City.All of the flashbacks are of him and his wife,like we care.
Normally when i get into a good TV series i binge watch until it's conclusion,I've found myself watching this one 20 mins here and there it's been a struggle.Going into the last episode i don't care who murdered the girl,if his wife is still alive and if there is in fact a 3rd city,hidden among the other 2 cities in one big city.
Overall have found it tedious and a tough slog.
