    Best British surveillance mystery
    This is one of the best UK series created. If you enjoy "Black Mirror" and/or "Person of Interest" (with Jim Caviezel) / "Enemy of the State" (with Will Smith) / "Eagle Eye" (Shia LaBeouf), then you will love this. On the same par! A hidden gem of a show!

    It would be fitting to a black mirror extended episode / movie. Very cleverly created and written. It won't disappoint. And ignore all reviews that complain about the ending. It is a great ending to the show. UPDATE: Season 2 is even better (in my opinion).

    My only gripe, is the constant use of profanities throughout. There are a lot, sadly which spoil the show.
