This is clearly a well-budgeted and well-made show.
However, I was left feeling out of place with it constantly. Maybe it's my fault - I did watch it sporadically so I kept having to catch up with the thread of the story.
Nevertheless I just didn't connect with it and didn't feel the sense of danger that (I presume) I was supposed to feel.
The acting is fine and it's full of nice shots and cinematography. But it all felt very clinical - even with the subtitles (I find dubbing often puts me off) and left me baffled why I should care.
A complex story really needs to get you involved and this one doesn't. So you're left with no reason to invest the time. However, I did manage to watch the entire show, but the final episodes felt more like a duty than a fun.
If they do a second series I may give it a try... there are the seeds of a good show in there.
