Well executed crime drama

*****Possible Spoilers for Spotlight and Breaking Bad****

There have been comparisons to Breaking Bad for Spotlight, and I can easily see why. While Walter White's profession as a chemist gave him the perfect opportunity to segue to the dark side of drug production, Jean Baptiste, as a crime scene cleaner, opens a different, but similar door to the criminal world.

The writing, performances, and score in this series are so very good. Brendan Coyle is amazing as the crime boss.

I'm not sure I agree with the choice of having Jean's character involved in an affair, being that his wife is a hottie, not a bitchy character, and that, along with his two kids, makes it a tough sell.

The score edits are spot on - composer Neil Davidge demonstrates some true artistry in the music choices and composition.

Well done! I only wish this series was more readily available online.

score 8/10
