Yep, I nodded off during SEVERAL of the episodes. And that's hard for me to do. Just kept watching from where I woke up and it didn't seem to make a bit o' difference as to where it was in the plot or what episode I was on because it's just the same thing episode after episode. M15 trying to turn the male lead against the female lead, the "police commissioner" trying to bury the male lead and the female lead trying to keep her son from harm... throw in some random fights and violence, a few nonsensical subplots, rinse, repeat.... Not really sure what all the brew ha ha is about with the M15 going to such lengths trying to get the hard drive and keeping the world coming to an end a secret since they discredited it in the beginning when part of it was leaked. AND, why in the world is the UK the only ones to know this??? I mean if such a catastrophe was going to happen, it would be all over the world. With amateur astronomers finding comets and such and with the internet, there is NO WAY to keep this kind of a thing secret. For me that's a huge plot hole.
I tried really hard to like the 2 main characters but I just found them sad and depraved in their own way and began to care less and less about them. Both the female lead and the M15 characters are almost hard to tell apart because they are both acted in the same, bland, stoic way. The female lead's son tries to kill her in the beginning and ends up in a mental facility because she's trying to protect him?? The male lead keeps whiny about how he wants to keep his family from harm and loves them, all the while having an affair with his dead (whom he murdered) partner's wife?? M15 has the secret about the end of the world on a hackable computer??? It might work for you but for me... ah... no. The music... I couldn't stand the music. The allegros and crescendos all seem to be in the wrong places. Not sure why this is considered a Scifi because that element just wasn't there. Its a badly written, poorly acted cop show that WANTS to be hard and edgy. Seriously, watch the first episode and the last 6 minutes of the last episode for the Scifi. I gave it 4 stars for those parts alone. They were the best parts.
