An absolute must series! (Well you obviously could pass, but more fool you). People that gave a low rating must have been distracted or just negative people for crime dramas in general. It's enticing, thrilling, sick and twisted, humorous at parts without being cheesy like some series are, it's certainly not a comedy.
First couple episodes are the slowest, but like all good series, necessary to paint the picture and set the journey off, having said that, the first two are still very good!
The series at times reminds me of Luther, in its feel of a show. However, it's not a cop investigation series in the same manner. Without giving any spoilers, I can see how some are making a similarity of one aspect of Spotless to that of Breaking bad, but it really isn't like watching Breaking Bad in the slightest, so don't expect either repetition or plagiarism.
I would have gave it 9.5 if the option was there, as 'Stranger Things' and 'Peaky Blinders' are the 10 bench mark. But going down to 9 seemed to unfair for a rare series that got me to watch all 10 episodes in 2 days!
score 10/10
