I am not going to re-write those reviews which found the series compelling. It is. And there are plenty of characters to root for. The performances - the two officers - are great. However the series does feel stretched-out to achieve the eight episodes.
There are red-herrings a'plenty in the late episodes. The possibility of two suspects really goes nowhere. The cop-suspect angle as well. The final episode is essentially a post-script to the series; we get characters apologizing, then apologizing again, and once more. The 'guilty' get their comeuppance and then get it again. I was certain that the final episode would have at least one dramatic revelation. But no.
In any case, despite my impatience and sometime-frustration, I found the series worth watching.
