I know it's been on for a month or so but only just got round to watching it. So far I have enjoyed it, what are everyone else's thoughts.

It's excellent, one of the best new series on TV for a long time. Both lead actors are very impressive in it, especially Matthew McConaughey.

Agree was going to mention the actors but couldn't spell McConaughey's name!!! Always thought he was a bit of a nothing actor, eye candy for the ladies. But I have been impressed with him

I have is sky +. Finding I can't watch these week by week, need a full series recorded so I can have a marathon. Looks promising, and I'm hopeful that it will go some way to filling my Breaking Bad void.

It's a great series, I loved every minute of it. Worth noting also that the plan is to make this show into an anthology - so expect to see a completely new cast of actors/characters if/when season 2 is made.

Just started to catch up with this - watched the first 2 episodes; it's definitely a slow burn, but compelling stuff, brilliantly acted. And I like the flashback nature of the story. I'm hooked!

Best programme on TV for a long, long time..... Just have a small gripe with the ending, which was a little rushed and formulaic, which went against the nature of the first 6 and a half episodes.

I'm looking forward to the next series and it will be interesting to see where the writers take it - They have a lot to live upto.

Managed to polish this off over Easter and I think it's fair to say that it was absolutely superb; dark, uncomfortable and brilliantly executed.

The ending was possibly a touch too neat and tidy, but I can live with that - TV is fast becoming the new cinema, but for grown-ups.

I hope there's more, although I'm not sure what they could do next.

There is a new season planned although with a new cast and location.
