The good: the unexpected twist to the "whodunnit" and some interesting mysteries throughout the series.
The bad: substantial parts of the story were like Mills & Boon romances, including the ending.
The even worse: The final part of the story was like a Jacobean tragedy. Sterhill-1's title was definitely meant literally.
I'm pleased that I watched all three series, and full marks to the makers for trying to do something different with the ending even though it will leave a lot of unhappy campers in the audience. Balthazar himself is a likable character but so larger-than-life that it was sometimes difficult to believe in him.
