8/10
An intriguing death.
Sleepin_Dragon17 June 2022
Kingdom is hunting for an apparent motiveless killing, after a homeless man is shot dead, suspected is the man he was dossing down with.

This is another great script from Don Houghton, it's this kind of unique, different storytelling that's often missing in today's drama, there's no action here, no shocks, just a good, old fashioned story.

I can't say I recognised any of the faces here, but the acting was really, really good, I loved the scenes at the start, they set the tone, and built up the main characters. I also think there were some great scenes between Ward and Kingdom, it felt at times that their roles were reversed, Ward being the more cautious of the two.

Very atmospheric, very watchable, 8/10.
