I liked this despite having some niggles about yet another crime drama where it is as much about a "troubled" detective as the crime story.

Always intriguing to see how people live in different parts of the world.

Some have said it rivals Happy Valley - well dont agree with that, but thought it is far, far better that what seem to be the increasingly bad 9pm slots on the main channels.

Has anyone else watched it all and what did you think?

Has nobody watched this?

I watched it, and I liked it. But I’m extremely pissed off when a series takes eight episodes and doesn’t resolve all the plot points. By the time they get round to season 2 I’ll have forgotten I ever watched it, so it doesn’t work as a teaser strategy for me.

That sounds like me!

In fact its been about a week since I finished watching and am already realising have forgotten some of the questions I wanted to ask.

But anyway, still think it was one of the better series, and although a bit improbable that one small(?) town would have so many co-incidences found the different threads of the story interesting.

And on occassion was definitely spooked.

Just finished it and so good but so many questions!!

Loving the countryside. Only on episode 2...

It really hurt my brain to try and understand the actual crime and how it had been organised, and all seemed a bit unlikely in that rural setting.

But I do have problems remembering faces and names, so no doubt this didn't help.

But put off by the personal back story, but compared to other crime dramas where the lead detective seem to have every sort of dilemma and health condition, was not to put off by it.

Save for Midsomer Murders isn't it the actual law that tv detectives have "issues"?

Probably but I am sure in the good old days, they were just detectives doing a job. Not using a job to sort out their "issues"!

But maybe that was shows broadcast before the watershed

Ok so I have only just finished watching this.
My Questions...Sam was the one killing off the members of the baby trafficking group..Why did it take him so many years to do so???? Or had he only just found this out and if so how??
Rose was involved as they used her farm to conceal the pregnant girls?
