Each to their own obviously, but the 8-10 star reviews seems a bit inflated to me. The first half of this series starts off fantastically; the story is nothing original but it's executed beautifully in pretty much every aspect.
As others seem to have similarly felt, things start to tank about mid way through. The story drags, the choices made and communication between the two leads was annoying/unjustified and by the last few episodes I was really only watching to see how they ended it.
