Some secrets you can never tell.
Eva is evacuated to the country to escape Hitler's bombing raids, she's sent to Lightfields farm, where she befriends Lucy Felwood, both girls fall for a US airman named Dwight, and after a fling, Lucy is killed in a fire at the farm.
You know how it is, you put things off, and it's twelve years later, I always meant to revisit Lightfields, but the twelve year gap is an indicator of my views.
On paper it sounds fantastic, and the idea is really great, the though of a crime bleeding through into the future, a vengeful spirit out for revenge.
It's interesting enough, and it does end well, but the initial episodes are too slow, it's too padded, too much by way of unnecessary family feuds. Episodes four and five are very watchable though.
It's definitely well acted, Dakota Blue Richards arguably steals it, but the whole cast are good, it's so nice to see Kris Marshall playing a rogue for a change.
Not a patch on Marchlands, had this been three or four episodes long, it would have been so much better.
7/10.
