Cath W So predictable it was ridiculous. Very poorly written. Couldn’t stand Rick he was such a creep, he made my skin crawl not to mention being a serial cheater. Poor acting, poor storyline. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Nancy M Good show but The character DI Rick Sheldon is a liability. He doesn’t add anything, he’s a pitiful character. The show needs to re-imagine him or drop him. Everyone else is solid. Not sure we could watch another season if Sheldon is still in it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Philip S This is about the worst British TV police drama we've ever watched. Very poor unbelievable script, with many inaccuracies and inconsistencies. Ffion seemed too young to be a DI when her ex Rick was still only a DS. Highly implausible that in a largish South Wales town both of them and their families had personal connections to the various suspects and victims. Also, given these personal connections, unlikely that investigating officers would be allowed to continue on the case. One of the early suspects was remanded in custody in a prison locally and, while there, was approached by the long serving convict Paul. Unlikely that remand prisoners would be mixed in with old lags. Then in a later episode Rick and Ffion travel several hours to visit Paul in prison in Worcestershire. That does not gel with Paul's prior talking face to face to the remand bloke. Rick confesses to the DCI boss that in the old case he had persuaded a witness to give false evidence. He would not have just been stood down; he'd have been charged with perverting the course of justice. Pathetic really. God knows why we persisted with it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/29/25 Full Review Lorraine M I wanted to like this show but it’s just poorly written and acted and I like the lead actors in other shows. The dwelling on personal issues ruined the show for me. Like your daughter almost gets shot but you can still cheat on your wife? Just awful. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Gerard E The story line jumped everywhere with many inconsistencies The plot was not remotely believable and the mechanics of it all was poorly arranged Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/09/25 Full Review Theo S. Héro + Really bad acting. The storyline isn't horrible, however poorly executed. (at episode 3) Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
