Hidden (TV Series) Episode #3.1 (2021) User Reviews

Back with another bleak mystery.

[Sleepin_Dragon · 7/10 · 17 May 2022]

Cadi and Vaughan are called in when the body of Ifan Williams is found by the side of a river.

First off, in this age of budget cuts and financial restraints, I am so glad to see a show like Hidden back on our screens.

Hidden is back, so expect the following tick list, gorgeous Welsh scenery, subtitles, hideous rooms and smouldering Welshmen. All of the usual elements in place, it's not perhaps as deep and engaging as previous episodes, but it's a decent start, I am intrigued by Ifan's loved ones.

I'd forgotten how stressful Cadi's family life was, her sister is still a bit of a nightmare. I bet she'll be glad to distance herself there.

A solid start, that offers a degree of intrigue, 7/10.

Started ok.. Faded

I agree with the RonaldD guy here who said it went from a 9 to a 6 in short order. Too much padding & not enough meat in this 6-parter. Also, Cady is involved in an unlikely relationship with a girlfriend now, which is probably pandering to the LGBTQ crowd & does nothing to advance the plot. In fact, Cady gets hired to a big time job in Liverpool and we spend time listening to her try to appease her dumped former lover. Why not just tell us a good story about solving a homicide?

After 3 episodes, Cary tells her boss they're going to 'start over from the beginning', but they really haven't done much but arrest a guy who had a scuffle with the deceased (cam footage). There just isn't much detective work going on. Hence, the series expects us to be intrigued by some melodramatic sideshows. We ain't. 6/10.

From a 9 to a 6.

Not sure what the producers decided to do with the 3rd series but it ain't working. The lead character was an enjoyable detective that was better than competent and had a mostly likable disposition and demeanor. This season she is a total bitch! Smart mouthed, arrogant, rude and disrespectful. Plus, the new trend of a prerequisite gay relationship has become central to the theme rather an occasional mild reference. Whoever thought these changes would be good is sadly mistaken. Hidden was one of the better Acorn series the past 2 seasons but 3 is a dumpster fire.
