The duo will not only have to contend with police corruption, but also a killer that has a personal interest in one of our protagonists.

After publishing an article about her mother's murder, journalist Lisa Wallace gets a chilling letter from the killer, taunting her with pictures of the murder and of a new victim," the official synopsis reads.

"Soon, news comes of Amy Reynolds, a woman who's gone missing. Lisa and Detective David Burkely begin fighting through Garda red tape as more girls go missing.

"Meanwhile, the killer plays psychological torture games with Lisa, making her choose his victims and even threatening her in person.

Lisa and David's path leads them into the crosshairs of the deeply corrupted core of the Garda.

"To cover their tracks, high-ranking Garda members blackmail David with his own secrets. This threatens to destroy them both as they get closer to facing off with the killer who murdered Lisa's mother all those years ago

Thanks Blondes. I've set it up. I prefer dramas that are set on real life stories.

I do and I don’t

they Should stick to facts

but then with diamond blonde lady thing Jean ? The ending /shooting /robbery wasn’t what happened

and I didn’t understand why they showed that

There's a few good ones coming this month!

There are 😀

Just hoping if this will be accurate. The subject demands it.

Be nice they is it @WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout

Starts tonight

I've seen some of this must have aired somewhere else last year. Just finished reading "facedown" about one of the disappeared . Complicated topic

Yes think was on paramount +

but I don’t have that

It was on 5 star (I think) at 1am I think on Tuesday/Wednesday morning - the first 3 episodes. I’ve watched 2.

Oh really ? I have that. Wonder how missed it

but will watch tonight

i have it on series link and has taped all the episodes on 5 star again starting at 1am this morning. Not seen them yet though.

I hope as e1 is 2hrs that I don’t get side tracked

Seems slow so far

I had to turn it off. Just couldn’t get into it

whoops Hit post. Did anyone else watch it ?

I gave up I thought the audio was terrible and couldn't hear / understand the dialogue

It’s a very hard to watch. I’ve compromised by having it on in the background.

Not only me who struggles then @hattie43 and @WatchOutMissMarpleIsAbout

shame as sounded good tho know on true life so not good iyswim

I’ve watched all of it now. I think a lot must be made up. Didn’t seem realistic especially the end.

Oh really - they didn’t stick to the story 🥲

I’m not sure just didn’t seem so and at the start it says ‘based on’ and lot is fiction.

Well.... It was OK, and my type of programme. (Crime drama/thriller type of thing,) but I have to say that (first) 2 hour episode dragged a bit. 😐 I am glad I recorded it and could whizz through the ad breaks, as there was SO many of them.

I kept checking how much time was left. (I checked maybe 5 or 6 times!) I shouldn't be doing that. That's usually a sign that something is dragging a bit. I will stick with it though as there's only 4 more episodes to go. Looks like the rest might be an hour each. Next Thursday's is anyway...

I put subtitles on, but Chanel 5 has an annoying thing where they flip back to off after an advert break.
Gave up after a while !

Yes 2&3 are on next thur I think

but I won’t be watching
