In the Dark

This is a well-written, thoughtfully directed crime drama... another one; BUT actor MyAnna Buring, who made a big splash in RIPPER STREET, proves she can shift gears and deliver a contemporary role with immediacy and honesty.

Ben Batt portrays her partner Paul, and their banter sounds genuine and the rapport between them is easy and realistic.

The plot progresses with few differences from other highly-rated investigative dramas. That's good news, but I wasn't sure if I could take another season of BROADCHURCH or THE KILLING. Luckily for Buring, I'm hooked and watching her acting choices.

Glad to see she has escaped from the beating that was MY HOT PROPERTY, a film so driven by its premise, the characters don't have a chance.

'In the Dark' is a strange kind of television series: well-acted (MyAnna Buring stands out in the lead role), and with interesting themes, but marred by a broadly implausible premise (female detective brings criminals to justice while nine-and-a-half month's pregnant) and sudden plot leaps. Danny Brockelhurst is an experienced writer, and to be fair, here he is adapting books and not writing from a clean slate, but the script is definitely uneven, and the result falls between fast and taut, and something lengthier and deeper which might have told a more coherent tale.

The show is VERY good!! I really wish there were more than 4 episodes but it was labeled as a mini series..

All these people that are giving bad/low/negative reviews because the show ended don't realize that its the negative reviews that will keep them from making any more episodes!!!!

Take Stranger Things for example. It was labeled as a mini series but it got such great reviews that they continued it on as a seasoned show!!

Smarten up people!! If you want the show to come back give it good ratings!!!!!!!!!!

I loved it. Was upset it was finished. Need more. Can you bring it back please

The storyline was great and so were the actors. Didn't know who the really bad characters were until it got closer to the end. I love British dramas beginning when Helen Mirren played a cop. Love British cop dramas, particularly Luther.
