Very good show; not as good as Top of the Lake, but very good. Episode 10 is rad because of brother Martin 'doing what needs to be done', despite his sexual heterosexual persuasion! LOVE that bi-sexual stuff! I find it that a man to cross the 'gay boundry line' to be courageous as all get out, ESPECIALLY if the man crossing that line isn't gay, but is doing it for a 'bigger reason', someone who is sacrificing himself, his 'culturally accepted' morals, and is sacrificing what others supposedly think/feel about him for 'not being straight', and is willing to make all of these sacrifices anyway due to some kind of 'greater responsibilities' he feels he owes to his brother Jean and his family. So rad. I am from a Southern California beach community, so please excuse my American 'Surf Slang' (I have a BA degree in Environmental Studies from university, and am one class shy of minor in Biology, I have a TESL certification to teach English, and have a specialization in grammar, a certification in Non-profit Management, and am half way completed my two year degree in Wine and Food Sales and Marketing, but I love using So. Cal. slang, despite how uneducated I sound.) So, I 'Thank you for your support.' Wait a moment; hadn't that been the Bartles and James tag line?' LOL!!!

Total Rip Off Snooze Fest. This "Spotless" should be paying a few different Shows it steals ideas from. It has moments of originality but they are shoehorned into the Show for effect without reason or even any effort to present the vaguest of logic. Not one person behaves in a believable fashion over the piece. The story swiftly becomes embarrassingly repeatedly contrived, and laughably Incredible. The main guys are dullards and you don't care about anyone in it. Appalling drivel. It's Full of a smug presumption that the viewers will accept any gimmicky twist or turn thrown at them. Staggeringly arrogant of them and, from the millions that switched off before it was scrapped in France, utterly wrongheaded. It comes across as if the original scripts were written in French, then translated into English by a non-English speaker.

I watched the first 6 episodes. The first two were intriguing and I thought the premise had a lot of possibilities. Good acting (except for the two French guys) reasonable dialogue, bit 'Hollywood' production. But watching almost an entire episode of the two supposedly nasty protagonists hammering away at each other while discussing the meaning of life, that was just too much ... too silly, too unrealistic, totally absurd. Who writes this crap ? It's like another series that came out a couple of years ago called The American. Great premise, great opening, then it just petered out with absurdities. I'm not going to bother with the rest of the series. Waste of time.

This show has excellent plotting, acting, and strong themes. It's suspenseful and entertaining. It's also filmed beautifully. Other reviewers mentioned Dexter--there is a similarity with the crime scenes, but I think this show handles that element with more artistry than Dexter did, and also handles the main character's exploration of the darkness people are capable of with more elegance and certainly more complexity. Most of all, it's an incredibly astute and surprising character study, not just of the main characters, but of an entire cast of weird and wonderful people. Not one character is stock. I can't remember the last time I deeply cared about each and every character on a show. Some of them I hated (one, in particular, is one of the most flawed and frightening I can ever recall on TV), but I cared what happened to them all and could relate in some way to even the most disturbing of them. A great show. I can't believe I'd never heard of it before I saw it on Netflix and for some reason decided to try it.
