7/10
Excellent concept, mediocre execution

Warning: Spoilers
In a world where people at the age of thirty have the right to regenerate their body's, people have to deal with all kind of new problems. The main problem is living space. With so may people immortal the world is running out. In this world young people have become lower rate citizens.

At one point youngsters are starting to get killed and/or disappear. Christina, a young girl, and Darius, a policeman at the end of his current career, start investigating.

The plot develops slowly but in the right tempo and every episode reveals a little more untill in the final episode all comes together.

The concept is great, but the execution has some problems. Here and there you may find a continuity error, and some parts are needlessly slow. The final episode feels like a forced wrapup of the story and you may be left with some questions. Thus a somewhat open end is created and you strat to wonder, will there be a second season. The answer: most likely not.

Keeoing the above in mind, this series is for you if you like dark, slowly developing and intriguing stories that lightly touch upon current actual problems in western society.
