Hugo Blick's sprawling crime drama has been named among the best television shows of the 21st century, and it's easy to see why. With a compelling narrative that offers no hand-holding, the series plunges viewers into a murky world of crime and corruption.
At the heart of the story, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Christopher Eccleston deliver powerful performances as they investigate the same murder from opposite sides of the detective-criminal divide. Their parallel investigations create a tense and intricate viewing experience.
Blick, known for his distinctive storytelling, crafts a drama that demands attention and rewards patience. The show's refusal to spell everything out adds to its gritty realism and immersive quality.
For fans of intelligent crime fiction, this is an essential watch, featuring two of Britain's finest actors in a morally complex and gripping narrative.
