They really hit it out of the park with this one. I'll be beyond disappointed if we don't get a second season. I am dumbfounded by the negative reviews and don't agree with a single point made with any of them. More proof that our experiences with art vary widely. If you like sc-fi and/or the Alien franchise, give it a go. It's worth watching for the production value alone - the VFX, the set design, the costume design are all flawless. On top of that, the acting varies from good to very good, depending on the actor/actress, with Sydney Chandler being a stand-out. Hope to see more of her in the future based on her performance.

I am pretty baffled by the amount of one- and two-star reviews. It is far from a perfect show, but far better than the below-average shows Netflix has been putting out for the last three or so years. Strong performances, a very tense atmosphere and stylish art direction come together to have made it a very enjoyable mini-series for me. The plot is undercocked and seriously lacking focus, but serviceable. It's certainly no worse than the average mob or gangster series. If some of the sub-plots had been cut to refocus the narrative, I think it could have been an excellent series. The two brothers played by Law and Bateman are both unlikeable characters, but I don't think they are intended to be. Their strong acting made believable the undying loyalty of their fraternal bond, even throughout their constant bickering and sometimes vicious fighting.

A masterclass in building tension episode by episode, with some phenomenal acting (by Freeman and Finan in particular). It's certainly not a perfect show, but it's effectiveness as a gripping thriller made it a five star watch for me. It also has some surprisingly funny moments of dark comedy through some of the absurd situations the patrol finds themselves dealing with over the course of their night shifts. I'm hoping we see more of these characters in future seasons.

Absolutely loved the experience of watching the first season. It's not the easiest show to get into because it is a show that is rather disorienting (on purpose, I believe). Also, it initially feels like it has LOST-syndrome, where it seems like it's posing a lot of questions that never gets answered just for the sake of being ~mysterious~. But after a few episodes it really starts gelling and it's one of the most captivating shows I've seen in recent years. The acting from the main family unit (Noomi Rapace, Davina Coleman and James D'Arcy) is excellent and really works to draw you in and engage emotionally with these characters. I am really hoping for a second season, because there is so much potential here.
