I typically jump at watching most all Brit crime shows, especially with a great cast of actors. Sadly, this plot was at best confusing and at worst not believable for the most part. I often enjoy mystery pot boilers, but this is not on that level. I hate to blame this mess on anyone in particular except for the writer.

It is difficult to stay invested in a story that includes inane plot lines, unbelievable twists, and no reason to believe that this would end in any way other than "black ops control everything," even without any rhyme or reason. If you want to watch an escapist mystery with no need to worry about the plot, this is for you!

I hope that I can make the best case for an iconic American gangland crime show that more will want to see. Liam Neeson has this genre cornered, but I always hope for different roles for this great actor. This is a star studded ensemble cast that chew up the scenery and spit out amazing spurts of violence and mayhem. I love love love Ed Harris in anything he does because he is THAT superb an actor. Joel Kinnaman is a Swedish heartthrob to me but has the physique of an athlete and the acting chops that stand out over Nicholas Cage ( love you Nick!)

Muss this at your own peril, as it is that good.
