Warning: Spoiler in last paragraph.
It took me a couple of episodes to get into this, but it was an excellent watch. I highly recommend it. In fact, I'm bumping the rating from 7 to 8 while writing this.
The writing, pacing and plot lines kept me interested. Maybe the fact that it was created by people outside the US helps. It was more imaginative, well-written and non-predictable than most of the other series I've seen recently.
The best series are when three things happen: (1) you get pulled in (and stay there), (2) it unwinds perfectly (no filler episodes) and (3) unpredictable plotting. This is why I gave this an 8. I got the full package.
The lead is pretty amazing. She pulled me in, because she has an amazing screen presence and she fit the character exactly. I felt like this role was a perfect fit.
Shows like this are why I watch foreign TV. Seeing how people live and society works in another country is fascinating. So many little things about daily life.
Spoiler: I have a feeling this will be the only season, because the last episode had too many doors closing to just pick up again. Kind of sad, but fitting.
