I watched the first episode. Completely depressing, don't have any sharp objects near by.

Agreed. After reading the reviews in the Brit press, I gave it a miss. Life's too short to waste it watching depressing dramas about the more depressing aspects of life in the UK. I'd rather watch one of my old 70's comedies like "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" than stuff like "Broken".

I think there's a reason why dramas like "Broken" end up in a Brit summertime timeslot - they know it's not going to be a hit with viewers so they don't even give it a chance, knowing people would rather be doing outdoor stuff than stay indoors watching mediocre crap.

Man, this series is messing with my head. The one moment I think "what is this crap?" and the next moment I love it. WTF

Only two episodes in.

Watched this a while ago. Absolutely brilliant, especially Arby. Season 2 is even better.

Two episodes to go - political conspiracy at its very best.

How did I miss this one.

Riviera is disappointingly poor.

Julia Stiles is just not believable and isn't ready for a lead role, well certainly not this lead role.
