Matilda Gray, an ambitious musician and talented cellist, has her life suddenly turned upside down when her mother commits suicide. While going through her deceased mom's possessions, Gray finds an old box filled with newspaper cuttings about the disappearance of a young girl from a small Welsh village more than 20 years ago. With her trusted friend Hal by her side, Gray travels to Wales to see if the case of the missing girl and her own mother's death are in any way related. What Gray finds out, however, leads her to question her own identity.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Requiem is as much a mysterious thriller with Lynchian elements as it is a compelling character study.

With a raft of well-judged performances, not least that of Sian Reese-Williams as the girl who grew up blaming herself for Carys' disappearance, Requiem returns the viewer's investment in spades. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/11/2018
It's not breezy, but good escapism if overripe thrills is your thing. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 03/26/2018
A-
Requiem offers a few sure answers, but it leaves enough to the imagination to make it both an insightful look at human nature and a compelling piece of TV. Go to Full Review Erick Estrada Cinegarage 07/07/2022
Watch with the volume high, don't watch marathon-style... has a lot more to offer than what meets the eye. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut 05/10/2021

Andrei D @RT74856639 Aug 27 Wilson is fully committed and good but the rest of the concept is pretty stupid when it moves into supernatural elements See more eWAG 7 @SeraphimEWAG 03/01/2025 What a mess this thing is. Could have easily distilled this into 2 episodes. Unsatisfying experience. See more greencrystal7 T @RT59672587 12/25/2024 So much potential, but tediously executed and painful to get through...and they did nothing with John Dee, I dare say the character with any character. Have they heard of DNA checking when identifying relations. You may enjoy it if your 1 dimensional. See more Tarek F @Tarf75 02/24/2023 Brilliant! Well written, attractive storyline, great acting and directing. Lovely British scenery as well. See more 06/29/2022 Snorefest. Slow moving. I really tried to give it a chance and typically will watch the whole series even if I'm not really into it (especially one this short), but it literally seems like absolutely nothing is happening. I'm halfway through E3 and I'm done. All that is going on is people sitting around, talking. See more 05/05/2022 Started off weak, got pretty good hallway through its six episodes and finished pathetically. It's as if the writers on short notice were told they were fired, but had to write the concluding episode quickly and without compensation. The final episode was an aimless, ricocheting, overabundance of nonsense, with most aspects falling far short of even extrapolated meaning or completion. Intrigue, midway through the season became meandering, incomplete, disconnected, random absurdity. It is probably the worst final episode of anything I have ever watched. Its closing really was that bad and quite a disservice to the potential it demonstrated just an episode or two earlier, despite the unlikable, self-indulgent and often obnoxious main character.
