Watched this because the presence of Simm is usually a good sign. Not this time. The storyline is laughable, there are plot holes you could drive a bus through and it's packed with formulaic stereotypes.

Don't bother.

Like, I'm sure, many others, I got suckered in by the high ratings. Don't waste your time. It's drivel.

This episode of an underwhelming series is just pathetic.

I wasn't sure what to expect of this but it turned out to be a thrilling ride with exceptional performances from a quality cast.

This was a good documentary series but was really spoiled by the last episode where interviews with some of the wrongdoers was overlaid with schmaltzy music and the producers allow them to trivialize their theft with the universal disclaimer "everyone makes mistakes".

And Devereaux's statements like "there isn't one person watching this that hasn't done something they regret" as justification for these cheats' actions is nauseating.

How on earth are people like Jacobson and Chandler still on the streets?

Cliche-ridden yawn-fest.

The storyline is predictable (even without knowing the true history) and hopelessly inaccurate (if you do).

What could have been a fascinating documentary ends up tip-toeing around the edges of the conflicts and battles within Formula 1. It's a shame.

The scripted commentary bolted on after the event is really irritating. No reason for it.

I started watching this with not very high expectations but what a pleasant surprise.

The technical stuff is ridiculous but who cares? It's fiction so it's entitled to make up its own rules.

I've got used to Scandinavian cop and detective series being absorbing, well written, well acted and gorgeous to look at.

Roba isn't any of those things, really. But it IS a good soap opera, sometimes ridiculous but always enjoyable - even when you're thinking "that's just silly"!

Some interesting cases depicted here but the presentation is frustrating. All reconstruction are shown in slow motion, often with some blurring and often in short bursts. This style could be effective if used judiciously - it conveys lack of clarity and confusion - but it's used way too much in this series.

The quality of Danish TV thrillers is so high and, with Malling, Coster-Waldau and Pearce in the cast I just assumed this was going to be a treat. It's HORRIBLE.

This is just a smashing watch. Funny, explosive, sad.

This show is completely bonkers and one of the most enjoyable things to be on TV for years.

Not much more to say than "Excellent". This is definitely one of the best series I've seen in many years.

I've liked Julia's work in the past but his is embarrassingly bad. Just awful.

I lived Season 1 of this but the quality drops off with each season.

By Season 3 the writing and acting have become really wooden.

I thought I might have found a gem when I came across this. Alas it's abysmal.

This is a project that someone decided to create to exercise that they learned in film school. It's amazing that anyone funded it and I don't believe anyone actually enjoyed watching it except those who have pretentious opinions of themselves.

Both series of this show are excellent with outstanding cinematography and performances, particularly by the lead.

Tremendous!

Watched this completely out of the blue and, once I got up to speed, I just couldn't stop laughing. You have to be quick to read the subtitles but what a treat!

Enjoyable little story but it seems such a waste. A cast of brilliant actors and an amusing premise but it's put together in such a dated and maudlin way that it just leaves you wondering what could have been.

This turned out fo be a diverting little excursion. In all honesty the story is quite predictable but it is well written, acted and filmed.

Just a horrible series. The brother is just so obnoxious and inconceivably oblivious to just how obnoxious he s.

This is a not very well done version of a tried and tested formula: a basically good person does something bad and then each decision that is made from then on makes matters worse. So many other shows have used this formula successfully that it's impossible to watch something that doesn't.

I wasn't expecting to like this movie - I just watched it "because it was there"! But I love everything about it. Exceptional acting, wonderful story and beautifully shot. I gave it 9/10 rather than 10 because I live in hope that some day I'll find an even better film!
