Let me not say too much, but just 'wow'!
Not WOW with capitals, but a modest wow.
I really enjoyed watching this.
The characters are all interesting, the murder mystery concept scripted very well, the twist not obvious at all, but only very sharp and detail oriented persons may figure it out. The back stories provide insight in the characters which slowly reveals the whole.
This mini-series has it all. Watch, but above all....
Binching required!
One of those series that is best watched with the girlfriend or wife. (I have to fill up the 10 lines minimum)
