4/5
Faith is well drawn, and Myles embodies her completely. Her Faith is full of colour and life. Her Faith is also warmth and charm, temper and frustration. Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian Jul 13, 2018
4/5
It looks real and brilliant and Welsh. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) Jul 13, 2018
3/5
Myles is hugely watchable, having one of those expressive faces that dominates the screen and holds the attention. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Jul 25, 2019
4/5
This opener set a cracking pace, immediately plunging us back into the sense of menace and unease which had so powerfully informed the previous series. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Jul 24, 2019
3/5
The cheapness is part of the appeal -- along with the impenetrable plot and long, brooding silences. Go to Full Review Malcolm Hopwood The Post NZ Aug 31, 2018
Welsh drama is like keeping the ball in the forwards for the first 30 minutes and then slowly releasing it to the backline. By the end of the game you're captivated. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stuart A @Stuart0507 Apr 10, 2026 Too slow, drawn out, ridiculously complicated, too many characters, too much mumbling - all of which spoil the excellent acting of Eve Myles. 8 episodes is far too many. Gave up after 5, plenty more gripping thrillers out there.... See more Kathy L @RT52027470 Jun 9, 2025 The premise was interesting but the episodes dragged. Too much emphasis on the mood music and dreamy video which puts you to sleep. Very disappointed. See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Mar 19, 2025 The first episode is so good that the rest of the season struggles to deliver on its promise See more Robin H @RT16578982 May 28, 2022 The first two series were superb and ground breaking, made by the star quality of Eve Myles. However, as so often, the third series can't keep it up. Long pointless shots of her and others staring moodily at the sea or into a wine glass, with nothing happening except a pop song trying to fill the gap. Needs more PLOT and more court room DRAMA. See more Apr 28, 2022 A well acted gem. Real locations, even the kids in the series we believable and put in great performances. We are USA based and it beat almost anything locally made here. The Critics are entirely correct for once and I have no idea who the members of the public detractors were watching??? See more Apr 22, 2022 Very disappointed in season 3....really admired the Faith character in the beginning...she was intelligent, loving, fierce and loyal...but in the second and third season she falls for the gangster Steve who has done horrible things and would be a danger to have around for the kids...not smart or indicative of a good mother ! Would have been more palatable if she reconciled with her husband...at least if she forgave him for deeds he done (which didn't seem much worse than Steve) her children would be less traumatized...lost all respect for her...not watching the final episodes of Season 3.
