Sounds promising. Gillian Anderson is a brilliant actress and we don't see enough of her on television. Now we have this and Hannibal to look forward to!

    I can't wait! It feels like they've taken forever to show it!

    It's funny to think there's some Hollyoaks actors in it!

    I've been looking forward to this for ages. Yeh it's got 4 Hollyoaks actors in it - the actors who played Kris, Cheryl, Brendan and Lyndsey.

    DS have this in their must see TV this week. Compared favourably to both Homeland and The Killing.

    This looks particularly promising, it's an opportunity for the BBC to get back at ITV which currently seems to have the lion's share of watchable dramas.

    Reading her interview in tv times. She says its not too disturbing for tv. Not too gratuitous. Yet others have said its very dark and graphic so which is it?

    It is set in Belfast - I think her character has been drafted in from London, so I would expect an English accent, but who knows? People work internationally these days and move around a lot.

    Alison Graham ( Radio Times) is raving about it.

    That means it's worth watching.

    That's possibly a good sign as far as I'm concerned. :)

    I watch a lot of BBC progs, but the first promo I had heard about it was last week.

    Looking forward to this, hope it is as good as its leading actress....

    So looking forward to this! I love Gillian Anderson, and ever since the X Files have watched most of her work (have liked all the period stuff she's done). This has been getting good reviews, some articles even putting it on par (or even better than) Broadchurch. Apparently Gillian Anderson and Jaimie Dornan put in great performances. I just hope it lives up to the expectation!

    Alison Graham is a load of old tosh, She usually hates everuything people like and likes things that they hate so with her I'd take a pot of salt.

    This however sounds promisibng.
