The freshman installment of the series lies in six sixty-minute parts. The first portions of critical feedback are already published, and they are very praising. Viewers enjoy the storyline twists, solid writing and the developed personages. The series has got a high 8.2/10 score on IMDb and has been nominated for 3 awards and received 2 prizes - 2016 Golden Nymph for Best TV Series Drama and Best Original Composition Television Programme Score in the UK.
