The Loch

C'mon! How many boxes did they tick covering every stereotype possible.

Taking care not to add spoilers: Out of town cops v in-town cops= friction. Kids that don't obey, and lie.

Requisite minorities included, bad guy shrinks. Husband feeling neglected because wife has a life- (but isn't particularly honorable to her) Stopping here, before spoilers, I just wanted to say that the "Paint-by-numbers" plots these shows have are getting awfully tedious. Four episodes in, and if I spend a minute, I bet I can solve this by figuring out what box isn't yet ticked off! Aren't there any original writers out there? With new ideas? GREAT SCENERY!!!

The story starts out great but by the end becomes not only far fetched but even disjointed BUT Laura Fraser as Annie Redford and Siobhan Finneran as DCI Lauren Quigley deliver acting as good as any you will ever see and a good bit of the dialogue is well written and funny. If I were to rate this on the story alone it would not be very high but there are so many aspects of this series, acting, dialogue , production values and location that are quite good that #1 I recommend it and #2 and was always keen to watch the next episode. Give it a whirl.

Pretty good overall with a decent plot and twist in the tail. Solid cast and location filming is very good. The last series the wonderful John Sessions ever appeared in.

Compelled to write a review to the enjoyable crime drama set near Inverness. Despite similarities to Shetland and Broadchurch, this drama feels fresh. It reminds us of the differences between rural communities and the effect a crime can have on such a small community compared to a city.

The plot has you second guessing at every clue uncovered and the desire to uncover the truth is overwhelming. Suspenseful moments intertwined in a mix of both fast and slow moving plot points, if you are into British crime dramas, this needs to be added to your must watch list.

I use IMDb to give me a steer on whats hot and whats not. Having read a poor review on The Loch, I felt compelled to level the field.

I'm a big fan of Broadchurch and similar crime dramas. This one is no pup. Its developing characters and a complex story-line to compete with the best.

All of the characters are interesting and there are many plot lines and angles on this web of a story.

My only complaint is that its a series and I have to wait a week for the next episode.
