Very well executed

Overrated

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I'm glad I took the advice of other reviewers and stopped at the end of season 2. It had already started to go downhill, the last two episodes of season 2 were so drawn out with so may unfinished threads. Then season 3 they just tried to revamp it, killing off key players and bringing in a whole new crew. So yes, it's great in season 1 and most of season 2. But either the writers or directors or someone got too full of themselves and killed it.

I found crossing lines while searching for another show to watch on netflix and loved it!! I loved the idea of the show and I loved the characters especially Carl Hickman and Tommy O'Connell. Then came season 3 with only one original character and a whole bunch of new characters and changing how they get cases. I watched season 3 hoping it would get better but it didn't. I'm not even going to bother watching season 4. What a stupid way to tank an awesome show, whose idea was this??

I am most disturbed by the fact that they changed the cast almost each show, but the very worst was between season 2 and 3. Losing Will Fitchner is a BIG game changer for me. Everyone else could go, not him. I won't watch anymore. If someone tells me that they bring back Will, I'll watch. I truly hate season 3 cast.

How refreshing to find a drama that's interesting, with good stories, European relationships in a global world and characters we've not seen a million times before. Seasons 1 and 2 are brilliant. So it's a grand shame that the wheels fall off for Season 3 and it turns into a typical, boring American style procedural full of stereotypical characters and situations. The actors are brilliant, but the lines they have to deliver and the boring stories, surrounded by dull characters - even the opening credits are tired. What happened? How disappointing. Watch Season 1 & 2.
