Under Salt Marsh

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33741848/

A detective-turned-teacher investigates a shocking crime in her small town. As a massive storm approaches, she must work with her estranged ex-partner to solve the case before evidence disappears.



Starring Kelly Reilly, a bit grim and moody as these in the valleys/in the sticks/coastal town dramas usually are but it is a decent watch, 4 down 2 to go, 7/10

Done 4 episodes a day so far I like it

Yes been enjoying this.

The leads are great, Jonathan Pryce is really compelling too.

It's a lot less flash and overblown than anything I've seen Sky make before, like a BBC drama without the Guardian handwringing, less populist than ITV, but still feels like a UK domestic drama, not something they'd love to sell in the US.

Gave up during episode 3, just all so dour and slow moving.
The relationships (the teacher/ex copper pregnant by the chavy bloke and the copper's gay lust with the water testing bloke) seemed very far fetched to say the least.

Have to agree - found it all so meandering. Something really bad about Rafe Spall - accent sounds weird, character seems quirky but in a non-charming way. Shame as I liked her in Yellowstone and him in Trying but this is just laborious and I'm going to have to give up on it!

Bit late to the party on this as I normally don't have access to Sky.

I thought it was OK but nothing special and I too am a big fan of Kelly Reilly but for some reason this role didn't work for me. I think someone like Eve Myles would have been more suited in this role.
