An outstanding series!! I've been waiting ages for it to come to Google, and now that it has I am relishing every episode! The dialogue is eloquent, deep and beautiful; the themes thought-provoking; the costume and set designers have done a superb job; and Eva Green isn't just a pretty face, she's an incredibly talented actress and proves it in the character of Vanessa Ives. The series is cast brilliantly, all scenes are mesmerising and each episode is so intense that it keeps me glued to the screen throughout. A deserved 5 stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Brilliant show. The 2nd series in particular is very good. The 3rd could have been good, but feels rushed at the end. Probably because the network had cancelled the show.
