I wanted to like this but I struggled to get through the first episode and won't be watching any more.
The acting is stilted with pregnant pauses everywhere they aren't needed. This only serves to frustrate the viewer where they are trying to amp up the tension. The acting is weak and the story is weaker. I can't work out how the lead character became the 'boss', if you said boo he'd burst in to tears and his gay relationship isn't convincing, it feels forced.
The writing is lacking, I kept trying to will them to ask proper questions any cop would ask in an interview and obvious ones just weren't brought up.
Every scene tried to either be arty or tense and it becomes draining after a while. It never flowed and let the story unfold, just dreary and insipid.
It's a 3 for the scenery and the female cop who seems to be more interesting than the rest, if only she wouldn't mumble...
