Dead and Buried - new crime drama BBC1 NI and iPlayer

[IwantToRetire]

I forget to post this at the time it started being broadcast (I'm not in NI but it is part of my package!).

I watched the first episode and couldn't quite get into it, but that may have been that I was a bit disturbed by the storyline being a bit strange / worrying.

But would use my doubts as a reason not to watch in case anyone is looking for a new crime drama.

(Sorry if there is an existing thread)

I really enjoyed it - it gets very dark but a good watch. 4 episodes was perfect, any more would have been too dragged out

I really enjoyed this. The lead actress as v good and totally nailed the NI accent and t was hard to guess how it would end right to the last minute. There was a real sense of menace sustained throughout.

Thanks for comments.

Will be brave and watch on!

I can’t figure out where it’s supposed to be set. Somewhere just across the border in the Republic, presumably Co. Donegal, except there’s nowhere that looks like that in Donegal that I can think of. Was it just filmed in the North?

I think it’s well done but at the same time, it’s taking me a long time to get through it. I think only the teacher husband is a sympathetic character.

Yes I couldn’t work out the setting either. It’s meant to be just over the border but somewhere like Strabane or Limavady or Derry except the shots looked more like Dundalk or Drogheda. So I stopped overthinking it!
