Series started last night on ITV1.

I'm not usually someone who will sit down and watch these sort of drama's but this is a must watch if you haven't seen the first episode already.

Have to say I agree with you. For some reason I have never really had the patience to get into dramas like this before, but I found it really easy to watch. The acting was good too.

I watched it and enjoyed it.

Was trying to work out what Pauline Quirke's character has got to do with it all.

Most of the outside scenes were filmed in Clevedon, a severnside town near me as bout fifteen miles south of Bristol, caused a stir when they were filming.

I found it a really interesting watch and everything is nicely set up for everyone to have something they want to remain hidden.

Also, I have a mancrush on David Tennant.

I found it pretty upsetting, can't really handle stuff with kids getting harmed and whilst the story wasn't the best I thought the mother of the victim played the part very well (and the female would-be DI too).

Good acting, very enjoyable, fits in nicely after Revenge.

Jimmy Grimble · Mar 5, 2013

Thought it was good for the most part.

Didn't think the family mourning scenes were captured that fantastically. Can't imagine they are easy to though. Also felt it was a little bit 'jumpy' too often from one moment in time to another, which meant it lost a bit of fluency and therefore certain moments - like the family mourning scene - weren't as effective as they could have been.

Maybe I'm being too harsh. Will definitely carry on watching.

James Bond's body double · Mar 5, 2013

Enjoyed it but can't he use the Tardis to go back and see what happened??

Greavsey · Mar 5, 2013

Mrs Greaves and I enjoyed it, though I found at times with the West Country accents that I was expecting Nick Frost to turn up and for it to turn into Hot Fuzz 2! Which meant it didn't quite have the gravitas that I'm sure the production team were trying to convey!...

That's it trying to work out that last night cheers.

Eh, it's filmed at West Bay in Dorset (near Bridport/Lyme Regis etc.). I know as a) we've been on holiday in that region quite frequently and b) we stayed in the same hotel as many of the actors last year - including when they all got drunk after last of the filming

That's not to say some other scenes were filmed elsewhere but it's based where I said above.

This - my youngest son is a similar age to the 'Danny' character so couldn't easily watch it without tears in my eyes!

I do like dramas like that though so will persevere to see them catch whoever dunnit.

The other way round,... based up here in Bristol and North Somerset, but some scenes were done in Dorset.

I stand corrected. I was just going on the 1st episode and the police building is in West Bay as is the harbour/spit wall and at least one beach scene.

I assume the residential bits and high street are Clevedon as I don't recognise those...

I suppose it's all fictional at the end of he day anyway so filmed in both although "supposed" to be set/based in Dorset.

Bevendean Hillbilly · Mar 6, 2013

I thought the mother seeing her sons trainers sticking out of the body bag was pretty harrowing as were the scenes shooting the house of the boy who died ( the height lines on his doorframe..we can all identify that as parents,)the little notes on the family blackboard with things for Danny to remember...all tear jerkers for me. Tenant was very good as usual and overall the cast are doing a great job.

Definitely a tough watch but better than most dramas I've seen recently.

Must admit I did enjoy it and it was very emotional.

Was surprised with the amount of continuity errors though!

Marc1901 · Mar 18, 2013

Anyone got any ideas who they think it could be?!

Petee · Mar 18, 2013

Don't know names but that Female Detective's partner, bit of a dark horse.

It's got to be the dad!
