10/10
Disturbingly hilarious!

I was not expecting to fall in love with a show like this but it blew me away from moment one.

Not only is every episode incredibly thrilling, captivating and leaves you wanting more with every new twist...

But they also beautifully portray a man with severe cPTSD in such an authentic way and I've never seen anything like it.

They openly discuss his struggles with trauma and how he fights to move forward in life despite a career he's chosen in direct reaction to that trauma.

Tom Payne doesn't just pull off this role, it encompasses him. The talent and emotion he pours into Malcolm Bright is overwhelming.

And his serial killer father played by Michael Sheen.... AMAZING! He makes you love him! He's funny but so manipulative of his family and it's twisted and delightful now it just sucks you in.

This show is gold.
