It's hard keeping one story plot running over six episodes, very few series do it successfully. This one didn't do it for me, it wanders and meanders and a red herring here and a red herring there, but an inexperienced journalist who is diverted by an affair didn't focus it. I prefer police procedurals because they are focused and you get facts and evidence piece by piece and you get a conclusion. This series started moving by episode 4, but I gave up.

This is another typical family who has suffered a great loss and parents who can't move on. Nothing new, we've watched it before. Joanna Scanlan, Iwan Rheon and most of the cast are good, but good acting doesn't make up for a bad script. I wanted to like it, but it would have been better as a 3 episode series and not 6. It's a depressing series to watch.

The Pembrokeshire Murders series was a true story in Wales and it was fast and focused and kept my attention. There is a lesson there, but sadly I doubt producers and writers will take it.

Once you start watching it you can't stop, you're almost holding your breath! Actors are absolutely amazing, spot on!

I have three daughters and as I watch this this is exactly how it would go, everyone in the show portrays the heartbreak, the fear and the torment as if it were a real part of their lives, very well acted very well done.

You will not waste your time watching this, and I always love when they film absolutely beautiful, and I don't think I've ever seen a show with any one of these individual actors in it that I didn't like, they never let you down, their faces are what draw you in, because you know they're great actors but they're acting keeps you watching!

In a world where popular crime dramas fall into the same predictable formula, it's refreshing to see something brave enough to do things a bit differently.

The early episodes start at a slow pace, but there's a real effort to develop the central characters before it changes gear and becomes a highly engaging (and unpredictable) thriller. The decision to set the show in the dramatic Welsh countryside was a triumph and a 6 episode British crime drama with very little police involvement is both refreshing and bold.

I became hooked in this highly engaging drama and hope that we see more of Cat Donato!

Great work by Channel 4 (and S4C), the outstanding cast and creator/writer Regina Moriarty.

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.

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.
