This is the best crime drama I have ever seen. If you like this genre, you will love this show. Each episode was packed with detail but never felt rushed. The characters aren't just sterotypes and the show handles difficult topics perfectly. The plot is fantastic - I couldn't predict anything which is very rare for me in this genre. I absolutely loved it.

This show is awesome!! The main characters are well written and likeable. The storylines are excellent and keep you guessing to the end. I can't wait for season 6. Douglas Henshall is fantastic!
