If you are going to make a copy of a hugely popular Nordic noir original then at least make half an effort. This UK production of an original set in Stockholm is supposed to be Bristol, but is in fact filmed in Brussels, pretending to be Bristol.
The plot had been mashed down into just 6 episodes from the original 10 thus losing all the delicious Nordic noir build-up of tension from the original.
The kindest thing to be said of the acting is...it's wooden at best. The script is laughable and the fake Scottish accent of character Billy Regan, is just that. Fake. Pretty much sums up the whole show.
Tbh 1 star is too generous. If you want to watch this show, I suggest you start with the Swedish original of the same name which is far far far superior and written by heavyweights Niklas Rockström and Wilhelm Behrman who can actually write and have awards to prove that.
