Smart, funny, well acted, a bit painful, and, best of all, not a waste of time.

Great moments in a messy melange.

Season 2 is preachy, saccharine, way too cute, sentimental, loud, frenetic, intrusively scored, earnest, trying too hard. After two episodes -- gave it a chance! -- walking away. Wondering why season 1 seemed so good.

Even with the aid of wine and popcorn, could not stay with this steaming heap of nonsense. That seems to think it's quality TV. Soderberg, really?

Pretentious, clunky, obvious, boring, disjointed, desperate, execrable dialog, topped off by a cringe-inducing performance by Driver.

I've had enough of slaughtered young women, women as prey. This flic felt out of step with the times. Also, that digging scene at the gravel yard -- or whatever it was -- just absurd.

A bit sodden, good cast, better than many now out there. Worth watching.

Less than the sum of its parts, and some of the parts seem a bit off, e.g., Gary Oldman and a jangly score.

Cringed for the duration.
