Used to like this show but the last few seasons - and the current one only continues the slide - have become stale scenarios divided into the usual personality groups where everyone tries SO hard - often having to rush their lines to get all the details out in in their allotted time slot. It looks like - and is - such hard work. When actors try this hard to be funny it just does not work. The story lines seem to get more and more unrealistic. Frankly this show is in a race with itself - to the bottom. I would have to think that the actors themselves must. Probably should have been killed a few years ago.

Not enough story for 10 episodes
13 January 2017
This miniseries started well - and the muted colors worked very well for some beautiful scenes. Basically though there was not enough material (or it was simply not narrated in sufficient depth) to warrant 10 episodes. The series upon which it was based was 'only' 6 episodes and so should this have been (imho) - or even less!
I also felt that too many significant events only happened because of the unbelievable stupidity of some of the cast. I find this to be a cheap and lazy method of introducing plot turns and excitement. Furthermore the bad guy was only caught by a last minute revelation that, if true, could/should not - for credibility - have been so completely hidden up to that point. I had higher hopes for this miniseries based on the reviews I read.
