Episodio #1.2

The first episode showed potential but I was not overwhelmed by it.

The second episode very much wore its influences on its sleeve. Now you just have to figure out how much of the Wicker Man is there going to be. Will Grace be the sacrificial goat?

Grace is being goaded by some of the locals and particularly by her predecessor Gruffudd Prosser. He is not happy as Grace blames him for the ineffectual search for Cai Prideaux.

The discovery of his body brings over a police team from the mainland led by Ann Fletcher (Jill Halfpenny.) She certainly has a passive/aggressive thing going on with Grace. For a start she very much demotes Grace from the investigation.

Only while Fletcher thinks that Cai might have ended up getting lost or stranded. Grace very much comes with the opinion that it was murder.

By now you really do think there is a conspiracy and just who is on it. I liked the scene where Fletcher throws the mobile phone into the sea as she departs the island. While Grace furiously wants to let her know that new evidence has been found.

Having discovered the body, Grace is keen to investigate and prove it was murder, how we a Murder Investigation team headed up by Detective Ann Fletcher arrives from the mainland. Someone is keen to warn Anne off.

This truly was a great second episode, it's really engrossing viewing, there's so much going on. Gripping, intriguing and full of curiosity, why is everyone is so keen to silence Grace, and bury any hint of murder, is everyone involved, or are they just a bunch of odd locals?

It's so nice to see Jill Halfpenny getting lots of work right now in big dramas, she's excellent, I'm so keen to see how Ann Fletcher is involved.

Great scenes between Anjli Mohindra and Mark Lewis Jones, quality acting.

8/10.
