Why make a drama in Gaelic and set it in Harris unless you're going to get under the skin of the setting and the language and of what makes them unique? They just took a poor script that we've seen umpteen times before, translated it into Gaelic and stuck some beautiful scenery in between the scenes.
None of the dialogue sounded like language that people actually use in reality, more like language copied from other old TV shows. The characters aren't fleshed-out characters that the viewer can care about and are mostly only talking to explain the plot. It doesn't matter how many "twists and turns" you put in the story if the characters aren't interesting or believable.
We live in hope of a Gaelic drama that can stand alongside the best minority-language programmes but sadly this effort suggests that's it's a long way off.
