In North Devon, a body washes up on a beach, on trj case is DI Matthew Venn, who's battling demons past and present.
This is very much a drama of two halves, my advice would be, stick with it. I wasn't exactly in raptures over episodes one and two, but it does improve, it builds well to an exciting snd dramatic finale.
It's not the typical crime drama you expect nowadays, no conspiracies, car chases or guns, it's all very measured, some may fairly argue slow, but the drama comes from control and fear.
It should have been 3 episodes at most, in parts it is dull, plain and simple dull. However it's almost worth sticking with just for the ending.
The locations are beautiful, that was never going to fail, some of the views are incredible.
The best element for me is the acting. Ben Aldridge is good, he's well cast, and certainly very handsome. Martin Shaw, Juliet Stevenson and Neil Morrissey at all very good, for me it's Anita Dobson who steals the show, I always knew she was good, I wasn't aware that she was tbis good.
Stick at it, 7/10.
