David Tennant and Cush Jumbo in Episode #1.1 (2020)

Featured review

5/10

Episode 1

The first episode opens with a car crash. Later tragedy falls on a small Scottish village.

Local doctor Tom Kendrick (David Tennant) is the only survivor from a house fire that has killed his wife Kate (Anna Madeley) a schoolteacher and three young daughters.

Their neighbours Jess (Cush Jumbo) is also a teacher and Steve (Matthew McNulty) is a police officer who is later told that this might be more than just a house fire. The dead victims were drugged.

The first episode had flashbacks and secrets ready to unfold in forthcoming episodes.

With Tennant's casting, it brings to mind his other hit crime thriller Broadchurch. I am sure that it is not going to be simple as Tom being an oven ready suspect.

However despite the wonderful scenery of the Scottish countryside, there was a sense of seen it all before in this opening episode. You could also get lost in the various flashbacks.
