646f9e108c Independent Claims Specialist Naomi (Samantha Morton) is given the job by her boss, Tom (Sir John Hurt), of recovering stolen diamonds, no matter what it takes. Also on the trail of the diamonds, from a different direction, is police officer Khalil (Tahar Rahim). The investigation takes them across Europe and into a world where shadowy figures control events. The plot had seemed intriguing even before seeing the first episode. I&#39;ve waited to see the true brilliance of Johan Rencks work, andI watched the first episode I felt excitement to see where this all ends.<br/><br/>I was especially intrigued by the excellent casting and refreshing filming locations. The only thing that bugs me would be the everlasting titles, but that makes the series even more special,they departed from the usual Hollywood TV series products. Sky TV took a huge step in production, and I believe it will get them the acknowledgement they aspired to.<br/><br/>I surely hope this will eventually get under the spotlight it deserves to be. Until the next episode, by my count, this show gets a proper called nine out of ten. Starts with an old-fashioned diamond heist, but then the series dives deep into the lives of its three lead protagonists and explores the links between crime, war and finance. The characters have enough depth, and the cinematography and music are brilliant. But it somehow fails to build enough tension with ammo of information it has. The various circumstances blur the line between professional and personal in the lives of these characters. Overall, it&#39;s intelligent and insightful, and really uncovers the kind of world which perpetuates crime and creates criminals. The series is clear in its message - Intended or not, with or without a choice, once you find yourself entangled in a web of crime, there&#39;s rarely a happy or non-violent outcome… unless, of course, you&#39;re one of the rich people bankrolling it. The diverse perspective on morality was welcome and commendable; it puts us in the shoes of various characters, and kind of makes the whole journey thought-provoking. <br/><br/>Was really intrigued by the connection of real-life instances relating to the &#39;The Pink Panthers&#39; and the Bosnian War. And really glad that the rise of Eastern European shows and peoples&#39; interest in them led to an international co-production of a trilingual crime thriller. The casting is brilliant; couldn&#39;t have asked for better one. Hope it marks the beginning of a new era of internationally co-produced multilingual shows.
