Dark Heart

Great idea and great acting. Tom Riley, Charlotte Riley and Amanda Raison are wonderful actors and it's worth watching the series just for them. The problem is the plotting; it all feels underwritten, or more likely either over edited. There's a lot of "what happened there?" moments. Nevertheless, still a superior bit of TV drama.

Had I known this wasn't a complete series but a canceled one I wouldn't have bothered. I did enjoy it though. Only criticism is none of the female characters were likable.

Good cast and storyline love the two parts stories on path with Luther ..need more police dramas on this level

I just started watching the first season of Dark Heart directed by Colin Teague yesterday afternoon and had to pause on episode 5. I returned to it today and got to episode 6 and to my surprise that was the end. WHY!? This show left me hanging on so many levels. It will leave you hanging on the edge of your seat trust me (especially episode 6). I for some reason thought there were 8 episodes... Please, please let there be another season 2 and 3....so I/all those who enjoyed this first season can see what happens next. I think the acting in the show portrayed by Tom Riley(DI Will Wagstaffe), Anjli Mohindra(DC Josie Chancellor), and, Charlotte Riley(Juliette), and, Miranda Raison(Sylvie) is top-notch. Can't wait for more... 👌👍

Most of this is a workmanlike unspooling of a mysterious series of killings. The victims are all men who were accused of sexually abusing children but whose cases were not brought to trial. Links are found to a killing which took place two years ago, but the man who did that confessed and is in prison. He was father to the abused child. But parents of the children abused by those targeted in the latest round all have alibis. Helped by some very good performances, notably by the lead actor, the riddle is unwound.. But the narrative is confused by a scene which seems pointlessly confusing inserted for no apparent reason.
