I just watched the first episode, as that's all we have had in the UK so far. I like it a lot. Interesting premise, and appears original.
Anyway, with only 8 episodes it is certainly worth viewing.
If the quality of the remaining episodes is as good, I hope they commission a second series.
To answer someone's question, it is not a set. It is filmed in Kent, in two close by areas called Leybourne Lakes (the multi coloured houses) and Kings Hill (the white houses and "town square" and pub). It's also filmed round the back of my house at the golf course (again Kings Hill).
FOLLOWING COMMENTS ADDED AFTER VIEWING THE REST OF THE SERIES:
I rated this a 10 after the first episode. Unfortunately the rest of the series did not live up to the promise shown. It's fairly original yes, but it's also overlong and gets tedious. I'd rate it a 6.5 or perhaps slightly better. I'd be surprised to see a second series.
