I wanted to love this series, I seriously did. The cast is strong, the story is gripping and it's easy to get addicted to this gory little murder mystery.
Unfortunately somewhere around the tenth episode the series takes a sudden,huge and rather surprising turn for the worse. I will not reveal anything to avoid any spoilers but if you are still early into this show - prepare to be heavily disappointed. I'm not talking merely about the oh-so-unsatisfactory resolution; it's simply the fact that the way the characters act and how the story progresses is nothing like what you've seen up to that point, and it all becomes rather silly. If the first three quarters of the mini series are reminiscent of a gory Agatha Christie, the last quarter is Wes Craven in the midst of a dry spell.
Too bad. So much potential, so little payoff.
