      • Mar 06, 2023
        I love that this is a truly dark, morbid, charged thriller. I'd not expected much. I'd assumed it would be a typically lazy Beeb production. There were a number of moments we were sat mouths agape
      • Mar 06, 2023
        Amazing show with a fantastic final season! Sarah Lancashire is such a superb actor!
      • Jan 27, 2023
        Fantastic! One of my all time favourite shows!
      • Jan 21, 2023
        If you haven't watched this already, why on earth not?!
      • Dec 30, 2022
        Entertaining and much good acting, but it stops there. The writing is shoddy, to say the least. Illogical and simply incorrect in many respects. (No, uniformed sergeants do not conduct serious criminal investigations.) Again, where are the writers of yesteryear? It seems as though the streaming platforms put "writer wanted, no experience or communicative competence required" ads out.
      • Dec 09, 2022
        This is a great show. All the actors are superb. The story is interesting and I couldn't wait to see what happened.
      • Aug 16, 2022
        Sally Wainwright is a brilliant TV writer. Complex, flawed, strong female characters.
      • Feb 13, 2020
        Started off slow the first few times I viewed it. Then it caught on. Hooked. Bingeing .... bingeing.......
      • Feb 02, 2020
        I absolutely love Catherine. The story and the lives of the characters are so detailed. You get to know their personalities. I love both seasons and I am waiting for season 3 please.
      • Dec 05, 2019
        I love this so much there were parts of the show I stood up out of excitement! The acting is "clever" and the plot suspenseful.
