Featured reviews
The main characters are superbly portrayed with powerful intra-team dynamics with the ever bickering Lola and Jackson and their strongly contrasting temperaments. Also cross-team there is a taunting love/hate relationship between matter-of-fact Lola (Eve Myles) and the out-and-out psychopath Freddie (Hermione Corfield). This is reminiscent of the liaison between Eve and Villanelle in Killing Eve; both ladies are magnificent, as anticipated from Myles, but the (to me) unknown Corfield is a breath of fresh air, nailing her part.
An original series, head-and-shoulders above most UK procedural thrillers with excellent writing, powerful dialogue and suspense to spare.
The premise of a murderous duo, who also seem to be survivors with unusual backstories seems like a winner, except the creators drop too many emotional and moralistic breadcrumbs. More disappointing, the baddies are bad from a distance, so the against-type characterization is only applied to the killers.
The law enforcement are pretty by-the-book "chalk and cheese" who will discover how much they need each other as the series unspools.
This is head above much of the competition, but seems intent on tripping itself up in the strangest ways. Worth watching if there's nothing else around.
