Hard Sun, as handsome and competent as it is over-the-top, is up for grabs.

London was a chiaroscuro vision, Victorian terraces huddling under sky-piercing towers. This glossy apocalyptic thriller is so moreish that - to quote Bowie - my brain hurt like a warehouse.
January 08, 2018
Hard Sun represents excellent value for your time investment in this TV-flooded age, as you come away from episode one feeling as though you've watched three new shows at once.

... after episode one, this looks set to be a promising hit for BBC One.
January 08, 2018
This is another cop show, but it avoids most clichés (an anti-Bancroft) and moves at a cracking pace, surprising and wrong-footing the viewer.
January 08, 2018
This shows all the signs of descending into utter preposterousness quite quickly but, for the moment, it's worth a look.
January 08, 2018
Hard Sun is a pre-apocalyptic crime thriller set in contemporary London that opened with the most horrific violence (I've yet to forgive it) and has the most terrible premise.
January 08, 2018
Hard Sun isn't entirely bad; it just doesn't try to be good. The premise is an intriguing one, but Cross is under the impression that any gasping implausibility can be papered over with mad expositionary dialogue.
January 08, 2018
Hard Sun seems both entirely capable and yawningly silly. The first episode was stuffed with action, twists and reveals, but its stylings and decisions are all cosily familiar.

If you've got the generosity of spirit to cut it some slack, it definitely repays that faith for its opening hour, and promises a whole lot of fun to get you through the cold winter months ahead.
