To be honest I only started watching this show, because of Alice Braga (Who I think, is one of the best actors right now)
BUT I stayed because of the brilliant mystery, and the very charismatic Emma Corrin, who (in my opinion) was absolutely brilliant as the lead for this show. She's quirky and weird. This very thing annoyed me at first, but it took me until the end of the first "flashback" to get over that. The fact that she is weird is not a detraction from her brilliant and investigative mind, and I found it liberating that a "hacker" was portrayed as smart and actually inquisitive, and not just some dude with glasses.
I was deeply engaged in the story and in the original mystery, AND in the "new" murder (no spoilers).

To sum my very scatterbrained review of the first episode up: I liked it, and I will keep watching.But what can you expect from a Britt Marling show?
But I only watched the first episode. My opinion can very well change in an hour!

Episode 2 did not disappoint either... Still brilliant.
Now the killer.. If it is who I think it is, I will not be watching season 2, because it is just obvious to me who it could be, and it is too predictable, but since it is Britt Marling behind the wheel, I suspect it isn't that "easy" to figure out!
