At first I thought this might be a bit of a “soap drama” but get past the first episode and it builds up to a proper binge-watch show! Superb casting, I particularly loved patriarch of the family Harlan Buckley played by Holt McCallany and the “villain” Grady whose narcissistic, sociopathic character is fascinating and brilliantly played by Topher Grace. I note there are some mixed reviews but you can’t please everyone! All I can say is I absolutely loved it, hope it gets a second season!

I really enjoyed this movie. Excellent acting by the boys…..already established young actors, they surely have a great future ahead! Naomi Watts was, of course, as captivating as ever! Great storyline, I personally don’t understand why some reviewers found it confusing, but these days there are so many distractions in life, perhaps social media was breaking their concentration!

See Johnny McDobbsy’s review below, it’s pitch perfect and all you need to know!!!! Brilliant series and so underrated it’s not true!!! Enjoy!!!

I binge watched the six episodes last night and, as a fan of crime investigation fiction (and factual), felt it was pitched just right for this brave, doggedly determined teenage Sherlock! it was refreshing that it didn’t rely on excessive violence, like much of what we see on TV these days. Though I haven’t read the book, I felt the casting of Emma Myers was perfect for the lead and I loved her side kick Watson (Zain Iqbal). Early episodes felt a little like a grown up version of an Enid Blyton children’s novel, (I was an avid reader of her books as a kid) and I was soon sucked into the storyline with its whodunnit focus on a number of characters with just the right number of twists & turns. All in all a rather wholesome, well delivered, enjoyable series….any chance of another of the books being adapted for a series two? I kind of hope so!!

Excellent adaptation of a brilliant book! I binge watched the season today, thoroughly enjoyed it. Great casting, I became quickly invested in pretty much all the central characters, intelligent scripts were well delivered, it was easy to care about them. The storyline is certainly very thought provoking, I found it rather scarily fascinating…an excellent watch indeed!

Loved, loved, loved this family film! Beautiful cinematography makes this a joy to watch in its own right. It’s funny, sad, emotional, a fast paced action adventure…. Had me sucked in within 5 minutes. The relationship between Young Adam and Grown Up Adam was an absolute joy, both with the brilliant script superbly delivered with comedic perfection and the obvious warmth, vulnerability and synergy between the two actors…it was a beautiful thing to watch. What perfect casting, young Walker Scobell steals many scenes from Ryan as difficult that may be, what a find he is! It has a very strong first half so by the second half I was totally invested emotionally and could forgive it’s slightly rushed wrap up…. I’m not a big fan of family films as such, but this makes me want to go back and watch all of those I chose not to watch first time round!

Gripping from episode one of season one! Love the main character, detective Kari Sorjonen, his gifted abilities re solving cases, a modern day Sherlock, with very gritty storylines….the quality of crime series from the Nordic countries are to be applauded, I much prefer them to the British alternatives!

Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro both brilliant….had me in the edge of my seat, did not want it to end! The scene at the dining table was a shocker…! A must watch!

Excellent, absolutely excellent! Thrilling, hard to watch at times, the cinematography superb. The three main characters (two detectives and the killer) are intriguing, the storyline mostly gripping and the ending ….can’t say anything without risking a spoiler but right to the last minute I was enthralled. A must for crime thriller fans, the international crime series thrashing the English speaking with the exception off the brilliant Line of Duty! Well done to all involved!

Loved it! Great cast, loved characters Billy Poe, his Mum Grace and Issac in particular. Reminds me a little of the great Mare of Easttown though it’s at a slower pace…. Great cliffhanger ending, plenty of mileage for a SeasonTwo, SHOWTIME! Please?
