I read some comments that gave the show the highest ratings and some that do not, and I tend to agree with the latter.

First off, I quite enjoyed the show because of the beautiful presentations, in many scenes and also the beautiful multinational casts, both males and females, which also presented an annoyance to me because they were speaking different languages, but it seemed everyone understood each other pretty well.

The show tried to be dark and mysterious, which was the reason I watched the show, but it was also annoying. There was no possible way a good child who missed his mom could stay so cold. No way, I am a parent, thus I know.

Also, I agree with a review that the show did not progress well with many episodes telling too much about each character's background, which becoming like a soap opera drama.

Lastly, the main topic was explained vaguely only in the last minutes of the show. I understand, the show wanted us to think (and feel intelligent and puzzled and so on), but not everyone of us are studying psychology.

All in all, the show can be better, but at least by watching the show I know great actors I never watched before, mainly Emily Beecham.
