Épisode #1.1

Being only half-way through the first episode, I have to say I am totally enamoured with this very, very good series. The story sucks you in, and the writing is absolutely first rate. The cinematography is amazing, and the setting is beautiful.

I also can't say enough about the cast! Sometimes, when you get this many well-known actors in one place, you can get something a little over the top, everyone wanting their time in the sun, making for a type of "forced" performance. But here, nothing seems forced, just a group of people, with complicated relationships, living their lives. And then MURDER.

I love UK murder mysteries, and this one is first rate!

Residents of a small community are shaken when a local man is killed in the small hours.

It's a terrific start to the series, I wasn't sure the direction it was going to take, but it settles quickly, they quickly established a torn and wounded community.

As the end approaches, you're left in no doubt as to the direction, and there are definitely Broadchurch vibes, it's a six part whodunnit series.

A stellar cast assembled here, face after face, one of the best of them was shockingly bumped off, I did not expect that.

Alum Armstrong, David Morrissey, Lesley Manville, Joanne Frogatt, all fantastic.

Loved this first episode, 9/10.
