I'm on the fence about this show.
Firstly there are some really good performances here. The cops, Honey and Molina were brilliantly portrayed, really well done along with the characters Matilda and Oliver. Enjoyed watching them thoroughly.
Secondly, the storyline is very intriguing, but there is far too much going on to follow this properly. Unless there's going to be a second season, the whole storyline with his missing brother was a waste of time. I just didn't see how this fit in. It wasn't even solved, so why have it drive so much of the narrative? It took up so much space, the main story which was much more interesting, became a bit of a mess. They should have spent more energy with the main story and given us more context. It was so vague, that by the end of episode 5, I had 18 questions I'd written down and I couldn't answer any of them. As an audience member you want to engage and solve the crime along with the detective...that's the point of a good murder mystery. You're given clues along the way to solve it. They didn't reveal vital things until about 5 mins before the big reveal and I felt so cheated. It was a good show, but still some of my questions were not answered. It just needed a smoother script, it was a bit all over the place. Definitely had potential to be amazing. The ending was ok but I was expecting something a little more sinister.
Would I recommend? Only if you have nothing else to do.
