5/10
So good, but the ending UGH (MANY SPOILERS)
15 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
All six episodes lead to nothing. I realize the series is loosely based on true crimes, but the reveal of the villain was obvious from the moment Lisa gets in the car with him. I'm too exhausted to look back for clues, it seemed ridiculous. Also, they felt it was important to wrap up the dad in the hospital story, but we never get any closure about the original missing girl, nor what the police concluded about Burkely's shooting. I presume he's dead and his partner lied, but we don't know that.

Perhaps Amy is never found, but it was brushed over. Perhaps Burkely is dead, Brennan lied, and nobody followed up? I guess the Garda circa the mid 90s was the laziest crew ever? They don't investigate the murder of police officers? How about the corrupt Chief Superintendent and Gough? Nothing?

It felt like it was supposed to be 8 episodes, but they suddenly pulled the plug at 6. I'll give it 5 stars because I enjoyed the performances, but the series as a whole really tanked and left me irritated.
