US only trailer. please tell me how it looks.

looks ok

started watching this today but keep having to rewind cos I'm trying to do about 4 different things at the same time.

Configure new much higher speed broadband to torrent engine, tidy up flat, make bread otherwise cook etc. As well as prepare for art course that I found out was actually tomorrow as I opened the classroom door to a roomful of yoga students lying in darkness.

But enjoying it I think. Had half meant to watch it on terrestrial tv but fell out of step after half watching the first episode. Nice clothing in it anyway.

this show is better than i initially thought it would be. The Swede is sooooooo creepy, trying to decide what other tv shows have villains that rise to that level. Boyd Crowder from Justified is as transfixing to watch, but not as creepy.
