Not sure why the rating is so low for the show but it's pretty decent. You don't know 'whodunnit' until maybe the last two minutes of the show and it's not who you would expect. I recommend it.

I only started watching to see Catherine Tyldesley who I'd seen in Coronation Street some years ago when I used to watch it. I was curious to see what she could do with another part and she is terrific in this story about a dysfunctional family who meet up in Wales to scatter their mother's ashes and sort out the farm estate. It is melodrama but exceptionally well acted by the entire cast, even though they are on the whole, unlikeable. In spite of that I found it to be compelling viewing, loved it, unlike other reviewers here.

Be prepared they murder a couple of animals for no reason. The show with the reverse storyline is an intriguing way to tell a story. Every character is a case study on being a terrible person.

I am surprised by the negative reviews, I thoroughly enjoyed this four part series. It truly was a good old fashioned murder mystery. All of the necessary elements were present, good characters, motives, opportunities, and of course no end of suspects. I enjoyed the way the story was told, very unusual, but in a way that was easy to follow.

Truly they are the most dysfunctional family on Earth, every single one of them has hidden secrets, and of course motive for murder.

The biggest revelation for me wasn't the killer, although that outcome was about the only scenario I didn't imagine, but the performance of David Caves, am so used to him being Jack the good guy in Silent Witness, he showed here how versatile an actor he was, he was nasty.

I enjoyed it from start to finish. 9/10

Slow burner, superbly well acted intricate and depressing story of family of 4 children arguing over the inheritance of their parents estate. (Sure makes me glad to be an only child!). Nearly all characters are unlikeable and have sinister intentions or back stories. Not sure it was worth the 4 hours. Could've been done in half that.
