Frans B @FransB Jul 17 Very good. Well written and directed. Good cinematography elevates the ambiance accordingly. Kelly Reilly and Ciarán Hinds brings the swagger and flair. Whole cast excels in character. Very good murder investigation / mystery based on the "Anna Travis" novels (Largely true to the books as well) It is very graphic and sometimes a bit "chamber of horrors", which might be too much for some. Very realistic and aptly shocking, true to signature Lynda La Plante writing. The ratings here does reflect the true potential of series if compared to other platforms, which rate it much higher. Oh well, each to his own I guess? British through and through and done in that fashion, which is quite compelling at times. Captivating and entertaining See more Lady W @RT72663879 08/06/2025 I lost interest while watching the leading lady staying in mudding black high heels after leaving a gruesome crime sence. She continues to go inside a government building to meetings with the mud still on her shoes. She could have go into a restroom and washed them off. It distracted from the plot. See more Louise C @RT69763679 07/21/2025 A typical Linda La Plante offering. Starts well but goes downhill quite quickly - not helped by the female lead's demeanour. See more Julie G @RT22163681 03/25/2024 Good job by 2 excellent actors. Creepy plot. British supporting actors are the best. I particularly liked the receptionist, Amanda Lawrence. See more Sheila F @RT39677154 01/21/2023 I liked it but the actress who was playing lead role really got on my nerves with her untidy shaggy hair and her sultry looks. She was ridiculous in high heels and you just wanted to stop her daft facial expressions . She was acting like a porn star in the wrong movie. She even had to lick her fingers after eating toast. And when she pulled over her boss at end of series 3 and planted a long kiss on him what a stupid end. Then I saw it was Linda la plante who wrote it. Says it all.
