Wolf

Wolf: Yet another troubled detective. DI Jack Caffery becomes is obsessed with the neighbour he believes murdered his 10 year-old brother 25 years ago. He sits and sleeps in an attic bedroom watching the neighbour's house, his GF is getting tired of this. He even moved back from Monmouthshire after the neighbour was released from prison (he was in for other crimes). Meanwhile back in Monmouthshire a family are put through an odd ordeal. It seems to be related to a double murder which took place 5 years before. After a run in with the neighbour Jack is put on leave and ends up back in Monmouthshire where he helped in investigate the killings, naturally his personal life is complicated there as well. Dark, compelling, after two episodes I;m hooked. Based on a Mo Hayder novel. Six episodes on BBC1/iPlayer. Directed by Lee Haven Jones & Kristoffer Nyholm, screenplay by Megan Gallagher. 8/10.

I going against the grain so far and saying I really enjoyed this, although I've only seen the one episode. There's some nicely over-the-top Inside Number 9 style black comedy behind the genuine suspense and horror, and, although the whole thing is quite baffling, I'm looking forward to seeing more. The two local "detectives" are hilariously sinister, there's some genuinely funny lines of dialogue, and it'll be interesting to see how the three main plot lines fit together. If indeed they ever do.

Ignore the predictable anti-beeb bias you always get from certain comments here and give it a go. You may enjoy it, you may not.

I thought this series was a bit of fun and really enjoyed the implausible plot lines. It's a bit different than most BBC output but I personally don't think that's an issue, at least not for me.

The recent Sixth Commandment with Timothy Spall was a great limited drama series, almost an uncomfortable watch as it's based on a true life crime. It was excellent television.

This is very different. I really did enjoy the two detectives, some hilarious moments. Hopefully it was intended as a dark comedy because I thought it was a riot.

If you like your drama come thriller specifically on point then you might not enjoy this. I will watch pretty much anything and I'm not fussy. I personally find most television very forgettable, mostly due to the dearth of shows available to watch. Don't take this too seriously and you might enjoy it.

I thought this series was brilliant. Honestly don't know why people ain't talking more about this one because its very dark, quite gory in some parts and well acted. Every episode keeps you guessing and making you want to watch more. Sacha Dhawan and Iwan Rheon as Honey and Molina were such a blast in this they were fantastic, their acting talents are really being wasted on british television they are Emmy worthy in this. Ukweli Roach as DI Jack Cafferty was great he was perfectly casted in the role. As well as some of the supporting roles were excellent such as Owen Teale surprisingly not playing a villain here, Juliet Stevenson, Sian Reese Williams and Annes Elwy were all fantastic.

Every episode makes the mystery more juicy and the pay-off was fantastic. The only downside about this is that there does seem like too many questions to answer by the final episode but surprisingly the finale didn't feel rushed. Its an excellent series highly recommend.

Wild! There is one particular twist/turn - in the first episode - that is worth the price of admission. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I can't stop thinking about it. But then I haven't read the book. There are certainly things to object to - maybe some bits are OTT and sometimes the dialog is formulaic - but I will keep watching to see how the plot and direction develop. Also, the actors who play the "police" baddies - Iwon Rheon Sacha Dhawan - are superb. I don't quite understand why viewers are being so critical of the series; it's not as if I was expecting Tolstoy. I encourage people to give this series a chance.
