3/5
... it does have a talismanic way of drawing you into the grimness. Go to Full Review
Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Aug 19, 2022
This had not been a vintage series. The tale of international eco-terrorism had too many obvious red herrings and twists that could be seen coming a mile off. Go to Full Review

3/5
It remains to be seen whether the future absence of Henshall will kill Shetland stone dead. And as ever, the Shetlands look exquisite, shot here in beautifully composed tableaux. Go to Full Review

Olga T @RT17602965 Jan 31, 2025 Veramente avvincente, serie fantastica See more Kat L @RT09657103 Feb 25, 2024 Still quality British TV: solid actors in beautiful rugged scenery, led beautifully by rugged Douglas Henshall. But it didn't rise to the level of the first seasons: the plot was spread too thin, and it was too easy to lose interest at times, or for the characters to behave unsensibly. At 70% of length this season would've been a great ending for an era. See more Tom S @Acewrite13 Dec 14, 2023 One of the worst, most ridiculous seasons of television ever. The first four seasons of this show were great, with S4 being the peak, then they shifted gears into hysterical melodrama in Season 5 and it's been downhill ever since. This season it really felt like they were making it up as they went along, everything felt haphazard and random, with the dialogue getting steadily worse. I'm hoping S8 won't suck, but I'm not optimistic. See more paul o @Paulo190408 Dec 3, 2023 Just brilliant. Excellent plot, wonderful acting, nothing not to like. See more Distant O @RT09315840 May 24, 2023 A series that had run out of energy and passion. You can sense it watching these final seh]gments. But that said, Shetland, Season 7, is still better than most of the stuff we find on the various streaming services these days. With Douglas Henshall's departure, Shetland has lost its core, and that should be the end of the series, but will the series creators be able to resist the urge to wring a few more dollars out of the characters and the beautifully stark Shetland landscape? See more Andrew S @RT49353263 Jan 19, 2023 Still good, but felt sub-par compared to the previous seasons. See more Read all reviews
