Emily Hampshire! Mark Addy! I'm a sucker for mystery box shows!

Naw, give it a pass. This is just boringly bad. Had such high hopes from a trailer last year.

I thought the beginning was pretty promising, and I was excited! A few episodes later, I was bored. At the end, I was just disappointed. :(

But I loved the Scottish accents.

This started off a bit promisingly, but then just ground on. It didn't need to be six episodes long.

I watched the first episode of this the other night and it seemed like it was not going to be very good, despite the cast which is full of people I really like. Glad to hear that it's probably not worth watching the rest of them.

Thank you porpoise. It may be unfulfilling, but warning viewers away is a noble act.
