I've enjoyed all the series so far. Last season's twist was excellent. However, why have season one as SD only? Doesn't make much sense...

Amazing show, great storylines, every actor/actress is perfect for the role they play, not to many spit on perfect TV series that work, from start to finish. Your on the edge of your seat, hoping they will succeed in their endeavours. Could watch this over and over.
