Anybody watch this show? I recently decided to binge watch this on Netflix after it caught my eye awhile back. I usually don't like crime dramas but this show does a good job of making it a more character-driven show (relative to other shows like it that is). I didn't really know who Ruth Wilson was before I saw this show but she's pretty awesome. and obviously Idris Elba crushes it. I liked the first season the most but I think it's all worth a watch.

They are apparently doing a 2 episode mini-series kind of thing later this year though which I'm skeptical of, since I'm not really sure where the story can go.

Same about not usually liking crime dramas, this show is fabulous. I'm not caught up tho xD haven't seen the third just because it's so damn short...I really hate how often British shows make ridiculously shows seasons, it makes me not want to watch the show because of how little there is -_-

Aren't they making like a movie?

Oh yeah, I watched the show and really liked it but I forgot what it's about. There'll be a two episode special airing this fall.

^
^ I kind of like that to be honest. It's a refreshing change of pace from how US shows are, because more often than not network TV storylines are drawn out and watered down because they need to cram 22 episodes at us to get our monies.

I agree with SML. I'd rather have a season that has a good plot with few episodes rather than a season full of filler episodes.
