Hidden

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.

1. It was lovely to hear the Welsh language spoken. 2. Wales is beautiful. 3. The show was an interesting unfolding of the story. 4. Some of the episodes were so dark that they were hard to watch.

If you like these things ^, this is the show for you. If you don't like a dark, slow story, then skip it.

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

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

Yes, I agree that the writing is great and the setting for Hidden makes for an entertaining and interesting show. The use of lighting combined with the beautiful exterior and sometimes brooding interior scenes are so artful and play an important part of the story. My wife and I really like the show. (I still can't get over the beautiful, artful direction and cinematography ...repeating myself; I know)!
