    You'll never want a boiled egg again.
    Paddy Meehan, Journalist at a Glasgow paper discovers the identity of a child killer, but refuses to push the story, as it's a face that's close to home.

    What a start, this is a terrific start to the show, very, very watchable. Two stories are in play, the death of the little boy, and of course Paddy's story. The story of the child is horrific, the twist is an absolute shocker, it's one you'll never see coming.

    A few lighter moments will help get you through what is a chilling, almost unsettling tale.

    Great production values, it looks fantastic, so authentic, the cars, clothes, haircuts

    The music is a joy, and will have you falling in love with the er.

    Some superb acting for you to enjoy here, the main cast are awesome, but the likes of David Morrissey, Peter Capaldi and Bronagh Gallagher are excellent.

    It's a great start, 9/10.
