Holding

Sergeant PJ Collins has his hands full when a body is uncovered, believed to be that of a man who vanished some years ago.

I can see why many of the reviews are negative, had I only stuck with the first two episodes, I'd have been a dissenter too, however, if you stick with it, and see the last two installments, you'll be pleasantly surprised, it has a massive upturn in quality.

The story does take a little time to come to life, and in the first two episodes, you'll be struggling to understand exactly what it is, however it transforms I to a light hearted, engaging murder mystery.

The acting is the best aspect, Conleith Hill and Siobhan McSweeney are both terrific throughout, both manage to make their respective characters very ordinary, but very real, they really do deliver. Look out for a knockout performance in episode three from Brenda Fricker, she is first rate.

Amazing visuals, if you've ever been lucky enough to travel to Cork, you'll know first hand how glorious it is, it's breathtaking.

Give it a chance, it eventually won me over, 7/10.

Anything with Conleth Hill and Brenda Fricker has to be worth watching.

You can find faults with every over hyped drama on television these days.

Just keep to simple story telling.

There are so many negative reviews but I actually loved it. Maybe my Irish background helped. I loved the Irish humour in it. Just don't take it too seriously.

I really liked this series, a great Irish comedy / drama. Good characters and an easy to follow plot.

Not meant to be the best but enjoyable .

I thought Brenda Frickers monologue was great.

I loved how this gave a real sense of rural Ireland and its people and quirks. Coming from this environment and culture I can testify to the verisimilitude, and my Irish Mammy says the same, so it must be true!
