The script, the characters and the acting is so well delivered in this TV series. With a few well known faces delivering very good performances its definitely a good series to watch.

There are a lot of series based around very similar, and almost predictable storylines that struggle to keep you interested.

This is not one of those, with a very clever storyline, feeding the view little nuggets of information through the episodes, it keeps you hooked until the very last episode.

An avid viewer will likely put all the pieces together, and guess who did it. But it's not until the final episode when you finally discover exactly what happened.

It's easy to watch, not overly complex, and the character development all come together to deliver a very watchable series.

This gets better and better. It flows really well, no holes in the plot and the acting, especially the 2 lead women, is superb. Surprisingly good, I watched it all in one go!

Set in a pretty small Welsh town, it is set 18 years after a young girl disappears, assumed murdered. It is a study of grief and the dynamics of a tight knit community, changed forever by this one event. It is beautifully shot and scripted and benefits from a superb ensemble cast, with a special mention to the 3 leads. It builds well, and you become absorbed in the story and the people. You are not distracted by questions and plot holes. You are able to just enjoy it, and this is why I wanted to know what happens and watched the 6 episodes in one evening. Highly recommended.

This was a decent watch. Reminded me of UK series from 4 years ago when they were "real thrillers". Iwan Rheon who played the frightening Ramsay Bolton in Game of thrones and Misfits comes off a bit short tho that's how he was written. And ( can't remember the actress's name) but Becky from utopia does well. The rest are all good. I liked it but didn't love it! Does keep you guessing tho and is better than most all the newer series I've watched that have come out lately. I just wish they'd made Iwan more menacing like he has been in other things but it's a decent watch with just 6 episodes. Give it a go.

Sharon's life is turned upside down, when her daughter Ella's killer, Joe Pritchard is released from prison, Ella's former schoolfriend Cat Donato returns to the village to investigate.

This is one of the best crime mystery drama series I have seen for some time, a truly engaging, absorbing watch. I binge watched the whole thing in one day, and was struck by the consistency throughout, it never lulls at any point.

An engrossing mystery, it's one of those where you're made to wait to learn the truth, but it's a truly satisfying outcome. Numerous suspects seem to have motives, you'll learn about them with each passing episode.

Joanna Scanlan and Alexandra Roach worked previously together on channel 4 drama No Offence, and once again the pair worked very well together, sharing some fine scenes.

Scanlan is excellent, I'm not always sold on stars doing Welsh accents, but she absolutely nails it, and not only that, she nails a North Wales accent, what a talent she is, Roach, Rheon, Williams, Halfrey, all excellent.

If you're a fan of Hinterland, Hidden and the other Welsh dramas, you'll really enjoy this one, and recognise lots of well known Welsh faces.

Some great location work, plenty of filming inside and around Carmarthen.

A very enjoyable drama.

8/10.

Wow this was good.

Joanna Scanlon and Alexander Roach both starred in the brilliant No Offence and are both excellent here too.

The story is about a mother who's daughter was murdered by a local boy but the body was never found. The murderer played by Iwan Reon has never been able to recall what he did with the body but despite this he is granted parole.

What follows is fascinating look at a mothers love and devotion and how it affects everyone around her and the journalist who moved away after the murder of her friend coming back to write a story about the murder.

There a twists and turns aplenty and a few subplots that are tied up nicely and some red herrings that Line Of Duty would be proud of but it's the strength of acting not just from its stars but a strong supporting cast that kept me watching and guessing. (I actually guessed right but won't spoil it for anyone here)

Filmed in both Welsh and English (The Light In The Hall) this is a really strong thriller right up there with the best of British TV.

Highly recommended.
