Very well executed

The Worst Film Ever

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

To be fair i only watched the first two episodes. could not watch any more of it. it was simply very boring! the story is good so far but nothing great or special. what really drives me away is the very dry approach to deliver whats happening. very dry and well... very boring in a way. its kept very realistic. for some people this might work and it could be an 8. but if you are like me you expect something else... something less... dry... i don't know how to explain. just try it for one episode. if you are bored as i was, leave it.

Good story. Great directing and all the actors were great! I'm almost done streaming it all.

The old adage is that time is your most valuable resource and this show robbed me of a ton of it. I've never written a review before, but I felt obligated to do so for this piece of trash. The series was so unnecessarily slow it almost painful to watch. I heavily rely on the IMDb community when it comes to chosing what to watch, and it completely failed me this time. The entire thing could have been rapped up in 5 or so episodes. There are so many unnecessary shots and sequences that one cannot help but believe that either the series was edited/directed by an 8 year old in that it just rambles through so many useless details of a story OR the network was just milking this thing for all its worth knowing people may continue to tune in because of the solid leads and provocative subject matter. The acting by Jamie Dornan and Gillian Anderson is very strong and the only redeeming quality that makes it any bit tolerable. This is the only reason that I didn't give it a 1 and also didn't punch a hole in my wall when it ended. The writing of the series is so horrible in so manys that it doesn't even warrant my time to list them all. The most significant two are as follows. 1) There are so many errors, inaccuracies, and mistakes in the due process/police work demonstrated that one must figure the writers take the audience to be complete morons who won't even notice. 2) Once you painstakingly arrive at the last episodes of the series, you think that they may have something and finally pull this thing together. NOPE! It just ends in an incredibly lazy way. Lots of solo shots of characters not saying anything. This is merely an attempt to make you think that maybe you didn't get the deeper message. The messages are clear and obvious early on so like I said, it's just Lazy. How anyone could rate this garbage anything higher than a 3 is beyond me. Either you have all the time in the world on your hands or you've never really watched decent film/tv. Rarely am I physically angry when something ends, but this did it.

I watched the first 2 episodes. After the first one I liked it. There is some female nudity in the first episode, which I hoped was just there to capture male viewers' interest to continue the series. After watching the second episode, I decided to quit. A major problem is that Gillian Anderson's character is not likable. Neither is Jamie Dornan's character, and you need someone to like in every show. Peripheral characters are better, but none stood out. Also, a little female nudity doesn't bother me, but the scenes of the female victim's naked body for long periods in the 2nd episode, along with a sex scene showing partial female nudity (but no male nudity), was too much. Yes, you see a tiny bit of Jamie Dornan's backside in one episode, but this show definitely caters to men. And back to Gillian Anderson, as another reviewer wrote, she needs to extend her range. If they had cut back on the nudity, and had a good, likeable main character, I would have stuck with it. The plot was interesting, but not enough.
