Find some way of getting BritBox. It came free with my EE contract as a benefit

Crime is absolutely sensational. Dougray Scott is the grizzled, troubled detective. Really gets going in EP4 - flashes of Welsh’s magic everywhere - I’m absolutely loving it

No, but as it’s Scottish there might be the odd overlapping actor!

I enjoyed Guilt, but this is much, much darker. About a serial child killer - welsh as always can get to some very dark places, but with his usual cutting black humour

Think of it as more like Rebus, but bleaker and more violent

It's very good. Some typical Welsh touches and good storytelling.

Feel this is worthy of a bump.

Only just found it after being talked about in the office. Certainly worthy of the Britbox free trial on Amazon.

Seen 4 of 6 so far. Great performance by Dougray Scott.

Glad to hear a few of you enjoying it - I hope it leads to more Welsh on TV
