Has anyone else tried this show?

I've been waiting for months for this to cross the pond and somehow it's slipped into the Netflix queue without me noticing.

I've done the first 2 eps and am still intrigued, although I totally called Hani as an informer once I heard about her previous tussle with the cybercrimes unit.

Hope the remainder of the miniseries is as promising as the start.

At the very minimum, I now know how to pronounce Canberra.

Well, I binged the rest today and speaking as a computer illiterate, it was pretty good. I'd love to hear from computer savvy posters about the computer hacking going on in the miniseries, otherwise it was suspenseful. I have a lot of other less computer-oriented questions, so if anyone else has watched it, please feel free to chime in.

Here's a Q&A with Lucy re: the miniseries.

Evidently there will be a 2nd season... corruption never sleeps in Canberra.

Can't find much on youtube that isn't already on the BBC site.

I never binge watch anything, and I binged watched this whole thing. I thought it was brilliant and entertaining, a worthwhile watch for mystery fans. It had enough layers to be complex without drowning the viewer in minutiae.

I thought the older brother (Ned) was a very sympathetic character without being an overt crusader, and Ashley Zukerman (the younger brother) did a fantastic job. Jesse was kind of unlikable but you understood why he was unable to relate to other people. Overall, the acting was so good, and I really felt like all the characters (except maybe the main baddie) were very well developed. Nobody was pure evil, and they did a great job of showing what motivated each person to act as they did.

Perhaps season 2 will flush out the baddies more, since they've already spent a lot of time on the brothers, the politico friend and the Iranian hacker.
