Good lord I'm sure the actress playing Hailey Upton is a good actress in other things but she smirks when she should be sad, smiles when she should be angry, just turf her already. Time for a refresh of cast - boot Hailey and get a new female officer in for the cast to play against.
Torres was a good addition but truly there are times when the story says a character should die and someone in story doesn't have the guts to do it and another miraculous recovery happens. Learn to shock for a change. The show would be better for it and would remain fresh and revitalise the audience at the same time.

So many critics here are missing the point. This is surreal, almost dada-esque, black humour mixed with crime. The acting is superb, even those criticised as being cardboard are doing so as part of their character in this series. Haven't read the books so cannot make comparison but then I don't like to with anything I've read and seen.
Damn thing is glorious and makes a great change from the usual chaff. Loving it. Truly hope the BBC continues to be experimental rather than pushing out the usual crime shows. If you don't like it, you won't watch it, and they'll get the hint and not try that experiment again but for goodness sake, let them try something new.

Watched Deadloch - loved it. I'm an Aussie living overseas so I watch most Aussie shows with promise.
This one definitely has promise but I think they sell themselves short by not including comedy in the description because it is damn funny. Looking forward to more.
We have a fairly high standard of what we watch very few US shows because they are either bad or very plastic and mass produced, complete with canned laughter. At least Australian shows (not the mainstream, soapy, ones) manage to avoid that and have a more UK sensibility about them (one of the few things to be thankful for with our association with the UK). Living in Canada with a Canadian and they were stuck with US shows in the most part.
Love to see Australia producing its own drama/comedy/mystery/whatever shows and feeling confidant for a change.
