There is only one place where you'll ever watch this show, and that's from the edge of your seat. Excellent rhythm, one of the best scripts I've had the pleasure to see dramatized, great performance by all actors, especially Idris Elba, Ruth Wilson and Steven Mackintosh. (Check out Nicola Walker's performance in one of the episodes of the first season. Superb.) Loved the the show's format, a few long episodes without fillers, building up every time. Don't let the genre fool you not to watch this show, it ain't CSI, or nothing like that at all. It is not driven by mystery. You are not going to be wondering who's responsible for the crimes committed, it is never hidden to the viewer who the culprit is, but regardless of this omniscient story telling, tension keeps rising all the time. Never a dull second. To me it became an instant favorite.

This is a good show. It doesn't have an excellent script, about 80% of the jokes and punchlines don't really land, it starts a bit shaky, the characters reactions are sometimes too forced; and many other bad thing can be said about it. But in the end, I found it quite likable. It didn't bore me at all. I found the love story to be sweet and volatile at times. The fights between Corey and Tuesday were so fun to watch. There's just so many funny stuff that could be written out of this. The characters where really charismatic. All of them. Sophia being bisexual and hysterically shallow, Roger so wannabe yuppie, Katie so innocently happy for no reason, Tuesday insecurely mean for no reason, R.T. with the hip attitude and harsh slogans, and Corey just pissing Tuesday off. I know it wasn't the best show out there, but quite enjoyable. Better than many shows. I also agree with one of the reviews here about the show needing more time to settle. Many good shows have a lacking first season. I believe this one had potential. Katie was awesome. I honestly think she could have become a legendary TV character. Personally, I didn't like Margaret that much. She wasn't funny to me, but didn't ruin it either. That 70's show wasn't perfect. Same problem with dialog and punchlines, but the actors made it all funny. This was heading up the same way. The only disadvantage this show had with its predecessor was exactly that. It came after. Other than that, great show. It had a lot to grow on. Too bad it was shot down so soon.
