Critic reviews

"One of the best dramas - on television or radio - currently on offer." (Radio Times)

"Instantly compelling." (Guardian)

All stars

I decided to give this one a try because I had a free credit and often like to look for new dramas and saw it. What a gem. This series could have quite easily been shown on Sky Atlantic it is that good. Acting is top draw, sound design and music selections ar stella and the pacing is perfect.

I must also credit Audible because when I initially downloaded it, the entirety of series two was missing. I wrote to them explaining this and now it's all here - the joys of cloud computing.

Anyone who likes conspiricy dramas will eat this one up. Now, if you don't mind, I have to make tracks because I want to listen all over again.

What a weird ending thought it might get better, glad I didn't watch it on TV 📺would have been totally bored

Didn't understand any of it

As a fan of BBC radio dramas, I'm always on the lookout for the next one rather than an audio book read by one person verbatim. I'm typically drawn to the more sci-fi style such as hitchhikers guide, LoTR, Dirk Gently, Good Omens etc. as opposed to straight up crime dramas, however I felt that this was a great balance of thriller and mystery in the sense that it is a sort of conspiracy theory more grounded in reality than sci-fi. A good mix of both genres, with less emphasis on the science fiction but that still being present.
I really enjoyed the audio quality, the sound effects and the performances, I felt drawn in by it and didn't feel put off as I sometimes do by over acting or rubbish sound effects. I'm really looking forward to using my next credit to purchase season 3-4 then hopefully season 5 if the former lives up to expectations. I would recommend this.

An intruiging mystery drama

Liked the first part, a solid 4 out of 5 stars. But what the heck was part two?! Did not understand anything. Listened through it because I'm no quitter, but really did not enjoy it.

What is going on with part two?

after it goes sideways and the story and characters become stupid and annoying. Most of the time from episode 10 and forwards I just wanted the characters to die...
