Dan B I binge watched this after finding it on bbc iplayer. The story was interesting and was a fresh take on the serial killer crime genre. My only criticism was that police procedures were overlooked. The last episode was particularly ridiculous. Ffion left a major investigation , where they were racing against the clock, searching for a person whose life was in threat, without telling anyone where she was going. I also guessed that the carer was involved very early on. It also didn't make sense that they were given bail, given that they were a danger. Silly but could set up another series. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review Nick W This is without doubt one of the very poorest shows I have ever seen; the writing is SO bad that it's actually embarassing in many places, and the acting is just dreadful. Episode 1 isn't great but after that it gets steadily worse and worse - there are just so many scenes which are, frankly, ludicrous. This, honestly, doesn't even deserve one star. Don't waste your time! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Karen L Good plot, just a shame the acting was wooden, the story line was predictable and they jumped to so many wrong conclusions and accused people guilty without any evidence. Watched episode 1 and 2, jumped to the last episode. What a waste of 3 nights. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Poor writing and poor acting. I watched up to episode 3 and just decided that I didn't care enough to go further. I don't recommend. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review Yvonne R Disappointing. The writing wasn't great, the pace was slow and it just lacked credibility. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Andy J Good but extremely flawed procedurally. Lazy writing, particularly episode 4! Mel would have definitely seen a psychiatrist and likely be detained under the MHA to hospital. Instead, sent to prison where his abuser was!!!! Nah, not even in Wales 😩 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
