TV and film companies must be in a dilemma about how to portray contemporary events. "The Pact" had one reference to the old or first Lockdown, but everything seemed to have returned to the Old Normal: no masks or social distancing, both of which are likely to be with us - or some of us - for a time to come.
It was nice to see Jason Hughes ("demoted" from his detective-inspector rank in "Midsomer Murders"). But there were plot weaknesses from the start. As has already been remarked: the four women - including the brewery owner's sister - worked on the production line, when a couple at least seemed to enjoy an affluent life style. OK, I know that unemployment is a problem in South Wales and that house prices are low but ...
And would they have taken such drastic action against their employer, who despite being very drunk, recognised them?
It was confusing when Episode 3 (I think) ended on a cliff-hanger, only for Episode 4 to commence on a completely different note. I wondered if I had accidentally missed an episode. It turned out that we'd been taken back in time to see things from the daughter's perspective.
And it never became clear why Arwel was so determined to destroy his son's laptop and refuse the police admittance to search his property. Presumably he knew there would be incriminating evidence about Jack's misdeeds?
And the two children put on an impressive cycling performance to trail the car in the dark to the woods!
