So glad I discovered this series. Brilliantly acted, visually stunning and thoroughly addictive. Shame there are no more in the pipeline...

The best lighting effects I've ever seen in a TV production. Great story and acting too. Cancelled too soon but still worth watching.

Totally loved this and was so disappointed it was dropped, big things seemed about to happen by the end of the second season.
