Love love love this series!! My only issue is the way the series kills off main characters willy-nilly as if they grow on trees or something. Of course I DO have a wee crush on Nick Cutter, so maybe I'm biased....

One of my favorite shows of all time. I watched it way back in 2011 ish and I watched it all when it was on Netflix as a kid I loved it. Now I'm back to watch it all again ❤
