    A thrilling, bumpy ride. Worth watching.
    Rather than focusing on the present, the show seemed to be tracing back into the past too much, even in the first episode. Malcolm's state of mind and his relationship with his SERIAL KILLER father is both complex and interesting. Michael Sheen's performance is fantastic as well, I'm already hooked!
