A great story ruined by a terrible screenplay adaptation. I loved the books & thought that the earlier movie was a very good adaptation of the first book.
But by the time I was watching the 4th episode I was laughing at the ridiculously far fetched alterations to the plot. Completely unrealistic scenes that at times reminded me of episodes of either Gilligan's Island, Skippy or even Hogans Heroes. What were the writers thinking?!! So much potential, so little delivery.

Great show to start with but then....

A very gritty crime solving drama that had interesting characters and a gripping story line to start with. I enjoyed the first season & a half but then the writing got increasingly bad. The story in the third season became laughably implausible. I really wanted to it to be a great show like Line Of Duty or even Broadchurch but in the last few episodes it was more like The Bold And The Beautiful. Very disappointing.
Great show but worst production yet.

Fake mosquito effects & bird sounds. Production crews clearly splashing the water to pretend to be alligators. Dead deers appearing where a small snare was placed. We understand that drama sometimes needs enhancements but this particular episode has pushed the limits too far. The first few seasons were great to watch but things are definitely slipping!
