This was so good I binged all 8 eps and started screaming in frustration at the tv when the last one ended

I would have happily sat and watched another 8 eps.One of those rare gems where every character in the quality ensemble cast has a well-developed personality, where every plot twist, even the most complex, can be followed.This is original, clever and really, really well made.~~~~ Thats all I want to say but apparently I have to write 600 characters, which seems like a lot at this late time of night, especially after 8 hours solid of wonderful television when I really want to go and get some sleep.
