Tom deleting 7 Danny messages from his mobile. Maybe its setting up the story, but the "clues" are being shouted at the screen. Now the paper woman knicking a cuddly toy from the scene.
Really enjoyed that. I have no idea who killed him but I'm guessing the dad. We haven't even met some of the characters so there's lots more twists and turns to come, I'm sure!
I thought it was really good. Not too slow at all - they are setting the scene and starting to introduce the different characters.
I thought the acting was very good throughout.
I think series like The Wire and The Killing have shown that good police/crime drama does not have to wrap up a case in 60-120 minutes to be worthwhile.
In don't think this is meant to be a 'let's find the killer as fast as we can' type drama - I think it probably is more along the lines of The Killing looking at the profound effect of the crime on the family and community along the way to finding out what happened - so hopefully a much more rewarding watch than a 1 or 2 episode who-done-it in the long-run.
8 maybe 9 out of 10 from me. Quality work from Olivia Coleman and DT. Lots of back story and/or possible motives for everyone lining up nicely. Defo one to follow. Looking forward to seeing more of Arthur Darvill too!
I missed Mayday last night was thinking of iPlayer-ing but I glean from comments on here it didn't go down as well as Broadchurch so may not bother?
Comments
I enjoyed that and loved the setting up
Very good. No doubt people will be on here soon to tell us that it was crap simply because its on ITV though.
For me the pacing is fine. I prefer long form dramas rather than your procedural 2-parters.
Can't believe that was Lol from This Is England.
I think the Dad was having an affair with the woman running the hotel.
Yes, because only ITV drama gets a hard time on here . Planning on watching this later so I'm glad people enjoyed it, looking forward to it.
I've sky+d it - it sounds much better than Mayday. Have you abandoned that?
I found it slow too. 8 episodes? If I watch it again I hope I'll enjoy it better than I did tonight?
Only tuned in out of curiosity but it quietly drew me in :cool:
Interesting mix of characters - decently filmed & written.
I'll be back for the next episode.

That's what I think as well.

Recorded it. Had a quick skip through the Mayday thread - looks like it got a rough ride!
