Craith

Good acting, strong story, believable characters. Gruesome and dark in parts but this only added to the tension and was neither gratuitous nor dwelt on for too long. Beautifully filmed in Wales and though I don't speak Welsh (hooray for subtitles) I felt the switches in language gave greater authenticity to the story. Well worth a watch.

Low key police drama well produced and directed with fine cast.

We've always struggled in Wales to produce quality drama but I have to say.. This was an impressive effort.. 8 out of 10

Script is so slow in parts and there is some editing I would have recommended, such as the episode that outlines the abduction in Ep 4 but I was so impressed with that abilities of many of the tertiary actors, including the sister of Mali and the mother of the traveling nurse. I also found Anglesey to be rather beautiful and liken the mood to my favorite genre of Scandi Noir. Watching in English subtitles makes it a breeze to really hear the language that I, living in Los Angeles and so unfamiliar with.

After all the Scandinavian noir rip offs and serial killer mythology it was nice to see a straight forward rendition of evil. A female detective with no quirks or neuroses, and a monster with a human face. It's not for the shallow hearted. It is necessarily slow, it is 3/4 in Welsh, and it is bleak in it's depiction of rural Wales. But it tells it 's story by blessedly avoiding all the usual serial killer tropes. No rituals, no symbols to be decoded, no need to call the FBI, and no psychological prattle about motive.It's not a whodunnit, or a whydoneit, just a head on depiction of the banality of evil. With a mother from Hades.
