All I can say about this amazing show is - you have to watch it. The acting - Superb! The story lines - Superb! the lighting, editing, directing, everything about this show is top notch! It's the show I rave about to people who have no interest in my 'niche' viewing (horror, sci-fi etc). There are no big twists and blow outs in this, just perfectly paced dramatic stories with a few ongoing threads to tie the whole thing together. That said, many of the story lines are hard hitting and as they reflect directly modern news stories we have a line of contact with the on-screen themes. Well done absolutely everyone involved in this show - you nailed it.

Hmm, this is a bit of a strange one. Wouldn't dream of missing an episode, but at the same time am not sure how much i like it. The story is certainly engaging and the acting top notch, but somehow the story stretches just a little too thin, there's too much else going on that could be tv shows in themselves: the drug ring: the sick girl trying to fit in with her peers; the unhinged mother. While it works in some respects, I often find myself urging the writers to just get to the point. That said, by the conclusion of the second series we did seem to be focusing more on Norman's problems and developing the arc of the character that leads to Norman Bates - aka Psycho.Will just have to see what season 3 brings

Absolutely fantastic political drama. Starts slowly - though still incredibly watchful - escalating to a scenario that seems all too probable in today's world where demands on energy and control of resources seem to surpass all morality. Wonderfully crafted and superbly acted a real gem of a show.
