I gave this 40 minutes, as with others I found the main character very unlikeable, she's friends with a police officer who helps her dispose of a body ahe has just killed. They both dig a grave and put the body in, then she asks the police officer "why are you helping me?" he replies "because you're married to my best friend", I couldn't believe this awful plot line and truly terrible writing. The direction is also very poor, so I won't be waisting my time with further episodes. Is it me or is netflix getting worse with time? This is poor stuff indeed, please give us something with a bit of originality!

Sorry but as an Irishman of a similar age to the main character portrayed in the film, I found (like many others) the street scenes to be too sterile and almost theatre like, to me it was just the filmakers trying to create "art" rather than to be gritty and real.
This may seem petty to most of you but it gave me an instant dislike to the film as it seemed to start off quite "lovey" or high brow as per Brannagh The North of Ireland is a complex story, not really told here.
Gave the film 1 hour of watching before I left, I also cannot stand van morrisons music but that is my problem not yours😁

Not for me

Watched 4 episodes but gave up, too much fluff for which I think it will be just a cliché fest, one thing annoys me, why do the umbrella soldiers wear storm trooper like gear, when there's no atmospheric issues? Is it just to look cool? Sorry, I give up, a waste of my time, try harder netflix!!

This is not a bad film and the cgi is not as bad as other reviewers say, but the uniforms worn by the actors is a terrible slur on the men and women of the US military, they look like cheap linen full of creases, the more I watched the more angry I became, and I'm not American merican I'm Irish!
Still a mystery

Good overview of a story I remember from all those years ago (I'm Irish). The pain of sophie's family is harrowing, the limitations of evidence frustrating, all that's left is gut human instinct of who is really telling the truth?

It's as above (50/50) for me on first episode. The characters are quite caricature, the dance scene with Lord Merlin in his pyjamas, I thought was a dream sequence, I couldn't see the conservative, whip yielding , german killing, uncle Matthew tolerating such a performance! ! The soundtrack is a play at the peaky blinders success, so we'll have to see how it goes....

Based in Northern Ireland, the whole plot can be characterised by the scene where a hood driving in said car is involved in a shooting and nobody seems to have witnessed it, in a council estate! The plot is just too hard to find believable, the five stars is for the previous series.

It just jumps right in there, really good, no hero's, just men doing their job, really enjoyed this, as did my wife and 15 year old daughter, who was surprised by the term "wolf pack", a tribute to the men of the Atlantic convoys.
