This series diea a good, not great, attempt at having a BBC style crime drama. And by that I mean a complex web of a plot driven by wonderfully flawed characters.
The cast is good overall and they do create a good plot that evolves over the two seasons. And there are no characters who are either pure good or pure evil. In BBC style, even a hero cop is probably a bit corrupt or open to being corrupted. Even the drug kingpin is not pure evil.
In a few cases however, they let a number of plot points just hang there and then just move on. And then, in season 2, the dealings with the encroaching Americans is borderline ridiculous. There is also the issue there is no season 3 so the main plot line is left unresolved. And there is the possible issue that, if there were a season 3, almost everyone would be a double agent as they just keep flipping.
Over 2 seasons there is also the minor issue of somewhat grating music that repeats over and over again. There is the also the odd need to add sound effects whenever anyone dials a mobile phone and the insistence of one character mispronouncing the name of another character. It's just odd.
