It is not often that one character makes a show almost unwatchable (aside, of course, from bloody Chloe in Lucifer), but the horrible MI5 agent in this show is so far beyond repugnant and repulsive that it almost makes an otherwise great show unreadable. Otherwise, this show is great. Great premise, great acting. The only downside is that Elaine seems to get beaten up in every episode....and Daniel just needs to be institutionalized, already. Well worth the time. I just binged the first season and can't wait for season two (fingers crossed).

I thought this was going to be science fiction but it is not.The fictional impending disaster seems only to have been included to allow for extreme violence and cruelty. That is what this is all about.I really wish I had not watched this.On a positive note, what an impressive performance from Aisling Bea who, for me, was, until now, only a brilliant stand-up comedian.

Hard Sun is one of the most abysmal series I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing in my life. The fact that the dialogue was more than likely written by a lazy infant was the least of this train-wrecks' problems. This formulaic "thriller" was filled with half baked tension and eye-rolling twists and turns. The acting was at times bordering on really good, which is very impressive giving the material. The only reason I kept going was this was such a strong premise and I was convinced it could only get better as it went on. Such a disappointing waste. One saving grace, for me at least, was the wonderful Aisling Bea, who I adore, apart from that it had nothing going for me.

Granted, it isn't a whole lotta sci-fi... but it does do what good sci-fi does best which is explore humanity.Really liked it, probably a bit too much cliche in there to go above 8 though.
