I agree tashadaviesjj. The clue was in the outline of the story - surveillance - so no screaming tyres, no car chases, no running after suspects. The watcher needs patience - not just us - but the actual people doing it. Everyone now wants things sorted out in a couple of days, which doesn't always happen. One thing did amuse me though did none of these folk have curtains/blinds at their windows therefore allowing anyone to be able to see straight into their home.

Think ITV did us all a favour cancelling this series before episode 5 was shown. Very predictable and uninspiring.

Managed to catch last episode before it was removed from ITV Player.

Positive is that it has beautiful scenes of Manchester and good music. Which partially makes up for a predictable ending.

This is a really slow burn. The dialogue is at best pedestrian with conversations about nothing. The police force terminology and script is laughable - I'd stick with line of duty. Characters are surface level and there are zero visuals or scene setting. Mundane.

Primary School teacher Gemma vanishes, prime suspect is her hot tempered, possessive boyfriend Greg. DC Martin King is on hand to view the comings and goings from the flat opposite.

When I see the name Ed Whitmore, I'm hooked, some amazing writing credits, my hopes for this were high.

I'm not too sure you could say it's a classic, but it's very well done, the story is intriguing, and we have a list of possible suspects. There are moments when you have to suspend your disbelief, but after all it's TV.

I love the format, great that it's on over five nights, there are several dramas on, and it does get a little confusing, I like this five straight nights idea.

It's of course well made, but nicely acted too, a strong cast, and it's great to see Noel Clarke and Alexandra Roach in lead roles.

Very watchable, 7/10.

I see the cancel culture is raising its head, and cancelled the final episode of this gripping series with a really good cast and script.

People has the sense to make their own mind up on whether they feel the need to watch it or not.

But I think this was a really good series.
