The first hour was really good, but there were some problems in the final fifteen minutes. I think it's going to be a solid series. He's a great actor, and the show is unique enough that it doesn't feel like every other procedural on the air.

On a related note, there used to be a show on BBC America that I loved. For the life of me I can't remember the name. It was kind of a dark drama with a pair of detectives (woman and man) solving cases. Don't remember if they were regular police or perhaps Scotland Yard. Haven't seen it on in awhile (few years maybe). Anyone remember the name?

This show is really ****ing good. First season is only 6 episodes, FYI.
It aired in the UK like a year ago so you can just torrent the first season if you don't feel like waiting every week. |

BBC America is airing the entire first series on Sunday for folks who didn't catch it last year.
It's worth seeing... |

Just watched the series on Netflix, and holy shit, this show is IN****INGSANE. The sanest moment of this show is ten times crazier than the craziest moment of season 5 of The Wire. It's consistently ridiculous and frequently on the verge of being straight-up laughable. But it's also immensely watchable, primarily thanks to Idris Elba and Ruth Wilson. Nowhere near The Wire, but definitely worth the time.
