I gave this anti-thriller three episodes before calling it quits, even though a murder or euthanisation was at last revealed, which should have sparked my interest. Too many characters spend too much time mooning about aimlessly -- always a bad sign. After the third episode finished my wife called her sister and they agreed that the show was too slow-moving and they just didn't care about the characters. Because it is so drawn out it is hard to keep all the subplots in the air. From the other reviews here and elsewhere, it is clear that this story is very polarising. People either love it or dislike it; I'm one of the latter. All the actors are trying hard to make it work but they are fighting against a minimalist script and glacial direction.
