"Only watched the first episode but this is done right. Amazing premise leads the main character disoriented and out of sorts. Love the contrast of 1970’s police work- so primitive and ineffectual. Also the 1970’s film shots are fun. Every detail recalls the 1970’s and discourages nostalgia- rampant racism and sexism, old boys, bullying tactics and grunge. Highly recommended."

"The UK Version not the American one."

"This, original, UK version is superior to the US one. Probably the best ending of a television series in the history of television series!"

"Deliberately outdated, but not nostalgia bait. Phenomenal acting."

"UK VERSION - There is a US remake of this series but if you watch the UK (orig) series first it's easy to see how US botched it. WARNING - This series wraps up with a significant twist so be careful what you look up about the series, you may stumble across spoilers."

"This show is so amazing. It's written really well and the writers did a great job making the reader not entirely sure what's going on until the end. Wholeheartedly recommend, 10/10. #drama #suspense #mystery_and_detective #british #bigrecommend #worthwatching "

"I watched and loved this miniseries when it first came out. Our family (complete with 3 teenagers) arranged our schedules in order to watch it as it aired! Lots of twists, turns and unexpected revelations. I loved it so much I’m about to watch it again! "

"Excellent twist ending. Perfect music. "

"The references aren't as relevant as the US version but still brilliant. Veers away from the US adaptation about midway thru so well worth the watch"
