Interesting twist at the end. I was trying to figure out how they would work Merritt into the group, I had no idea she was the case.

The main dude is hard to like, he is so abrasive. I don't think I "like" anyone so far except Akram he seems normal. I wonder what he did in Syria.

I'm a big fan of the novel The Keeper of Lost Causes, so I'm happy to report that after one episide, that beside the geographical change, the show remains largely faithful to the novel.

Imdb says there are nine episodes? The novel is quite the page turner, I can't believe it took me more than nine hours to read it.

The Edinburgh location shots are stunning.

The first episode hooked me in even though I am not a fan of "woman held captive" stories. It was nice seeing so many familiar faces (Kate Dickie, Jamie Sives, Mark Bonnar). Did not expect the twist at the end. 

The lead DCI reminds me of Dr. House and similar curmudgeons. 

Had issues accessing Episode 2 on Netflix which will hopefully resolve.

I couldn’t watch it at all yesterday due to Netflix issues. Saw the first 3 tonight. I like it, but not giving anything away, Merrit’s situation seems lifted from an entirely different type of show and not very realistic. Maybe it will become clearer in future episodes.
