I wanted to like it a lot more than I actually did, but I would watch it again and again for the fabulous performances of David Tennant and Michael Sheen. The worldbuilding is beautifully done and the story is genuinely touching. But unfortunately the rest of the cast is underwhelming and the humour is a bit cringeworthy at times.
The two leads absolutely carry the show and it suffers greatly whenever they are not on screen. David Tennant will get all of the attention for his show stealing Dr Who meets Bill Nighy, but I enjoyed Michael Sheen's subtlety much more. The brilliance of his performance even gives away the last twist if you're paying attention.
Oh and the opening credits are utterly superb.
