The first two episodes it went nowhere. But from the third the storyline picked up for me.

As always, they could have told the story in less episodes.

But it wasn't bad at all.

This is a really slow burn. The dialogue is at best pedestrian with conversations about nothing. The police force terminology and script is laughable - I'd stick with line of duty. Characters are surface level and there are zero visuals or scene setting. Mundane.

I agree tashadaviesjj. The clue was in the outline of the story - surveillance - so no screaming tyres, no car chases, no running after suspects. The watcher needs patience - not just us - but the actual people doing it. Everyone now wants things sorted out in a couple of days, which doesn't always happen. One thing did amuse me though did none of these folk have curtains/blinds at their windows therefore allowing anyone to be able to see straight into their home.

Primary School teacher Gemma vanishes, prime suspect is her hot tempered, possessive boyfriend Greg. DC Martin King is on hand to view the comings and goings from the flat opposite.

When I see the name Ed Whitmore, I'm hooked, some amazing writing credits, my hopes for this were high.

I'm not too sure you could say it's a classic, but it's very well done, the story is intriguing, and we have a list of possible suspects. There are moments when you have to suspend your disbelief, but after all it's TV.

I love the format, great that it's on over five nights, there are several dramas on, and it does get a little confusing, I like this five straight nights idea.

It's of course well made, but nicely acted too, a strong cast, and it's great to see Noel Clarke and Alexandra Roach in lead roles.

Very watchable, 7/10.

That's no way a magnetic car tracking device would be placed on the very bottom rear of chassis...At the first big bump on the road, it would fall...
