Six Four

Watchable drama is the headline for this one. At times there are twists. Scottish politics are thrown in for good measure and it all makes a compellable and consumable drama. Would I want a second series? Probably not, does this reflect the real world? Almost certainly not - but then why do I want a drama to reflect the real world.

The characters are standard the grizzled old timer and maverick, a villain who may hold the key to everything - well I expected him to turn to the camera and cackle. The acting was pretty standard too with no stand out performances.

The cinematography at times is stunning without trying to advertise Scotland. The sound track is a little unexpected and forgettable but doesn't detract from a watchable drama.

It's one of those series to watch to pass the time..it's not too bad,but sadly it's not too memorable either. Acting by the main actor, Kevin McKid I thought, was good - moody, and brooding but unfortunately I felt Vinette Robinson was overacting - I understand she was supposed to be angry and stressed but she came out unlikeable...i didn't enjoy watching the initial scenes with her in it..she only became likeable at the end.

The story line was interesting- juxtaposing a recent incident to a similar one from long ago, with the involvement of political figures in it. The back story of Scotland's quest for independence was also highlighted in this series but it's not something I understand much of, so that bit was lost on me.

Six Four: Another dark detective mystery series set in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and rural Scotland., Detective Constable Chris O'Neill (Kevin McKidd) and his wife, Micheele (Vinette Robinson), an ex-uncover officer are worried, their daughter has been missing for three weeks. An unrelated missing person case from 16 yeaes ago rears it's head again. The father in this case, James Cosmo believes that a cover up took place. Then the Justice Seretary's daughter is kidnapped, Dark and gritty involving corruption, murder, security service involvement and secret papers. Michelle has her own secrets to keep as she heads to London seeking help from contacts in her undercover days in a quest to find her daughter. A multi-layered thriller which will keep you guessing as to what is really at stake. On ITVX and RTE2. 8/10.

Was an ok drama only 4 episodes so not to drawn out. The story just wasn't the best. Wouldn't say it was nail biting stuff. Not sure the end was the outcome I would have wanted. But did expect that it would be the outcome. Maybe leaving it open so that they can continue and have another series. I probably would watch another series of it. There probably would be enough to have another one. Liked the actors in the drama nice to watch something set in Scotland with nice Scottish accents. It's nice to see places that you can recognise in a drama. James cosmos is always good as is Kevin Mckidd. Always like to watch a Scottish drama x.

I love British cop series. This is not one of the best I have seen, although it certainly maintains the tension until the end. The majority of the series is filmed in Scotland. The photography and landscapes are wonderful!

This one is about cold cases, dealing with a case for a missing girl called Julie Mackie, from 16 years ago. I would have used Scottish folk music, the soundtrack is a bit strange and sometimes doesn't fit with the scenes. Although I noticed it, it didn't bother me too much.

The story is exciting from the beginning, although as it progresses it becomes predictable, with several unexpected surprises as well. Well, I have mixed feelings about this series, since it could have been better by changing two important things, more passion in the actors and a story with more strength, I mean roughness and violence, the topic asks for it!

I also think that a second season can be made as some questions have been left unanswered. It felt as if four episodes were quite short and the plot could have been extended further. Although some actors may be quite distant, the series seems quite realistic to me, nothing exaggeratedly acted.

In short, I definitely recommend it, it is entertaining and has very good moments. Without forgetting to mention again the magnificent Scottish landscapes.
