Is it worth starting?
This is 7 seasons deep — English crime with a drama streak, not one for younger kids. Several seasons in, so it's a commitment to start rather than a one-night sampler.
- Why

- Skip if
- you don't want to start something several seasons deep
- Best for
- A long run rather than a single sitting
