10/10

Moody Welsh crime drama with a standout Kelly Reilly and strong supporting cast. A slow burn at first, but rewarding once it finds its pace. Highly recommend.

6/10

Strong cast, intriguing crime thriller, but as per usual let down by dreary DEI baggage. Let's start with the positives: the Welsh setting with a village under siege by rising ocean levels is a little unique. The crime drama, which spans two unsolved murders of children, is darkly disturbing with lots of twists and turns. Equally quality acting offers up well-rounded, often flawed characters. The downside is by now wholly predictable. The incessant need to ram DEI messaging down the viewer's throat. Personally I find it downright tiresome and pointless. In summary, it could have been a great series, but it's spoilt to a decent degree by the compulsion to inject woke narratives into what is supposed to be entertainment. An okay watch.
