The appealing Orla Brady keeps things bobbing along where they might have sunk like a stone. Go to Full Review Robert Levin Newsday 11/11/2020
2.5/4
This is not a bad series by any means and might be worthwhile for anyone seeking a complete and total escape from everything going on in the world, but it's not a particularly compelling experience. Go to Full Review Liam Fay The Times (UK) 11/11/2020
The show's plot devices are creakier than old turbines; the would-be twists and turns so poorly camouflaged that you can see them from miles away. Guff and bluster are the main forces harnessed by the project; glazed stupor the only energy it generates. Go to Full Review John Boland Irish Independent 11/11/2020
Derivative or not, this week's opening episode was a bit of fun, despite some decidedly ropey acting (no names) and an overly jaunty tone (I'm guessing it's not going to turn into Village of the Damned or The Hateful Eight). Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Insider 11/11/2020
The South Westerlies is a fun show to visit, and chances are you'll never want to leave there. Go to Full Review Anne Brodie What She Said 11/10/2020
Kate is a rare lead character because she doesn't share her concerns with us, we learn as we go, which is tonnes of fun. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
