‘I absolutely LOVE this show! There’s an unexpected twist in every episode,’ Heidi S praised on Rotten Tomatoes.
‘This show is still very watchable, and a good way to spend an hour. Colin Morgan and Emma Appleton will make it worth your time. And there are truly some good twists and turns along the way,’ Just S reflected.

Black Work: This show follows police constable Jo Gillespie (Smith), whose life is upended when she leans her husband Ryan (Kenny Doughty), an undercover cop, has been killed under mysterious circumstances.
One user, Tracey S, said the show became difficult to watch as the main character was ‘unlikeable’, an assessment some others agreed with.
