    On paper this sounds somewhat ludicrous, but the series is surprising moving. [13 Jul 2012, p.68]

    A lot of viewers may say, "I can't watch this." It will reward those who do.

    Every performance here is good--the young actors are remarkable--and though the script sometimes goes just where you would expect it to, the characters seem authentically unpredictable.

    It remains to be seen whether the series will be capable of using the unquestionable talent of Ms. Sevigny and the rest of the cast to build a show that's compelling enough to convince viewers its worth tuning in on a weekly basis.

    One more british series that (no surprise) goes to heart of controversial transsexual Chloe and the relations of 2 adolescents and 2 younger kids who recently lost their mother. 10+ !!! Expand
  2. Wow! Saw a poster for the show and thought I'd give it a go. First episode I thought "interesting I'll watch the next", then I was hooked! Brilliant cast and writing. A very different concept to the usual thriller/dramas with lots of angles to it. I hope Sky film more, loved it. Expand
  3. Отличный сериал с незаб;ываемой атмосферой. Expand
  4. Very mixed feelings about this show.

    It is an interesting concept, and the story line is interesting enough (a little slow moving though).
    After an entire season I feel like I don't know much about the characters or their backgrounds.

    The thing I really dislike is Chloe Sevigny's acting. The accent alone is very poorly done and she slips out of it all the time. I'm not an expert on accents but it sounds pretty bad, and I think Chloe Sevigny is a borderline actress, the last thing she needs is a bad accent on top of that.

    Also, they use foley sound effects for the fights. Seems really out of place in such a serious drama.
