From there on, Budd becomes embroiled in politics (as the protection officer for the outspoken Home Secretary) and a series of conspiracies. Right up until the final episode, there was a definite feel of early Homeland about this, as you are constantly trying to work out whether Budd is in on it, as the evidence suggests, or is honestly trying to stop the terrorists or find the culprits.
A few clumsy moments here or there that took the edge off for me (most notably certain people suddenly admitting everything under the lamest of police interrogations, but also more practical things like switching radio channels with only one hand).
Overall, Madden was a strong main actor, but as with a number of Scottish actors I find their need to soften their accent comes across as bad, less natural acting and it is hard for me to see past this.

The twists towards the end, I was on the edge of my seat. I was getting so angry, annoyed, frustrated and nearly screaming at the TV. In my opinion only good writing can get me so animated so that's a big tick.
As you can see, I've tried my hardest not to include spoilers, if you're looking for something on Netflix on a chilled evening, give this a go, see how you like it.
