I normally loathe violence in my TV mystery/crime shows. (one reason for my love of series like Midsomer Murders - the violence almost always happens off-screen) but this series won me over.
I really liked the cast, if not the characters themselves, very much. They all have somewhat conflicted pasts, making the relationships between the four main characters complex and interesting. I particularly loved the somewhat innocent Calum, who provides most of the comic relief but, also, is the center of one of the most painful episodes. (And, incidentally, looks a bit like he could be related to Taron Egerton!)
These are people doing bad things for, sometimes good reasons, oftentimes very selfish motives. They must work as a team, relying on each other and yet, trust is generally absent, creating stress and dangerous mistakes.
I cringed at the violence but I ended up caring about John and Callum.
My only complaint is that there was no resolution at the very end - who w'wins', John or Lenny and Symmonds?
