    To me, this movie is perfection.

    A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

    The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

    This TV show is a mess.... It is a literal assault on your intelligence. .Characters pop in and out of existence for no reason. The producers were trying to be "clever". Keeping the audience guessing, but never coalescing into a coherent and logical ending. It's as if the writer(s) placed possible suspects names in a hat and pulled out the words (random person from the past)... EYE ROLL MOMENT. .People know each other with NO explanation at all. .FBI Agent has book that points to him being the killer, yet agent has no affiliation to accused. Lead actress is homeless, disheveled, injured, bruised in one scene. Has make-up on and hair curled in next. .People are driving cars that are only found in Canada and not legal to drive in the US. . Mass grave found, only one person is identified. Mass grave not part of original back story. .Brother into snuff films, references names of deceased females; just into kinky stuff. .Lead ACTOR tried hard to show he's watched every Ryan Gosling film and that he can imitate his facial expressions. .BPD officer is 100% cliche', he's a caricature, no substance at all. . And the ending.... UGH! what a total mess, leaving it "open" for season 2. .PLEASE DO NOT MAKE A SEASON 2.

    This show had good production quality, and mostly really good actors, so I think that's why I felt so let down by the writing. My 5 year old nephew could have been a better detective than the characters in this show. Did they have a law enforcement consultant?! I understand everyone once in a while characters have to do dumb stuff, but this was too much. They didn't get super simple relations or they jumped to this conclusion that no one would have guessed, and it was still wrong. And then at the end the cop who was hell bent on persecuting her tryed to make a pass at her and she was all giggles about it. She was also cool with her ex just completely not believing her (and doing the worst detective job ever).

    It was riveting for the first seven episodes, potentially one of the most captivating detective series ever. But then the plot completely collapsed, I struggled to stay awake while watching the last three episodes. It felt like the producers themselves got so fed up with the story that they felt a compulsory need to bury it. A more elegant way out would have been to freeze the first series after episode 7, buying some time to devise a more fluid and credible storyline for the finale. It is very rare for a series to start so bright and end up in such a terrible mess.

    Outstanding "thriller" in terms of being BAD. Not much to say though. The writing was bad. Lots of plotholes as big as the Grand Canyon, red herrings that smelled fishy, were unneccessary to the story and led nowhere. Wooden, subpar acting (maybe except for Paul Freeman). Some actors are hardly to understand, due to whispering or badly masked accents. Music and story try to build suspense (shortly) but always fade into nothing. Cheap settings, cheap clothing, not believable to be set in the U.S. Looked more like a 70s European made series filmed in Eastern Europe and pretending the audience won't notice . Watched the whole drivel till the end, cause episode one was very well received after Monte Carlo premiere. Sadly, it deteriorated from episode two and never got back on track. Waste of time.
