    Loving it :)
    If you like layered movies or TV shows, much like 'tinker, tailor, etc', this might, no SHOULD be for you. There's no explosions to grip you, you have far more to mull over........beautiful script, acting and dialogue. Pick your moment when to watch this, try a chilled time when you'll concentrate, it wont do you wrong. There are some types of series/movies that belong in certain countries and no other country could do this type of series, in my opinion. I'm not slighting America by saying this as i believe it's the truth......watch this before American producers buy the rights and mangle it up and instead of a 5 or 6 episode series, it'll become 20. I'm not having a go at America it's just we do things different and i love the series like The Sopranos, 6 ft under, west wing etc or films like the Godfather etc......I'm just saying this might be deemed a tad slow.....but look into it, watch it and it'll be like reading a book, a good visual book x
