The first episode was pretty much a run of the mill Brit Copganda slop but Kelly MacDonald and Kate Dickie kept me hanging on and the final sequences of E1 really hooked me.

I am two episodes into the show and it has been great. I am curious as to where it will go.

I highly recommend it, if you are looking for something to watch.

At least for me, the show stays strong and delivers. I enjoyed being immersed in the Scottish environs as well. Enjoyed Matthew Goode in a scruffier and messier character as well.

OMG he was in Downton Abbey. I totally did not recognize him with beard!

Yeah same—it was so weird because I expected him to be posh and clean shaven, not scraggly curmudgeon wearing a scratchy looking sweater. Good turn for him. Test of the cast is all excellent as well.
