The main character, Claire Church, is reprehensible in all ways. I wanted to shoot her myself after the first episode. I did watch the ending. Lord. THE weakest woman character ...perpetuating women as victims. The DSI telling her to choose between being a martyr or a victim was exactly correct. She chose to stay a victim and betrayed everyone. I love British crime; it is the best in the world, I believe. Much of that is the players. Duff is a good actress, but I cannot understand why anyone with her skill would be willing to play such a weepy, indecisive, maudlin, narcissistic heroine. Maybe it is Scandanavian noir lite; I cannot watch Wallander for the same reason.
Review of From Darkness
From Darkness
(2015)
Quite possible the worst British mystery service I have ever seen.
