Story wise this Tv series covers the dark side of less than human beings and their sick sexual addictions ! It starts innocently with a family of 3 going away on holiday and due to their car breaking down had to stop in a small town whilst it was being repaired during the World Cup . Have to say that when the car did break down even to a novice like me it was obvious that the battery was the cause but I digress . The son goes missing in a crowded bar on match night. After this the story gets unnecessarily convoluted in it's telling I think the writers were trying to be too smart as the story bounces from present day to 8 yrs later very regularly which if done well to keep the viewer engaged is fine however all the characters except thankfully the child's mother look the exact same whereas the mother has short blonde hair when her son went missing and long brown hair 8 yrs later but if she is not in the scene then you have no idea where the story is! Nesbitt who plays the father is identical in appearance 8 yrs on also some of the scenes are a little unrealistic in how people would react imo that aside the acting is good given the scripts they were delegated! This could have been so much better with just a little thought but as it stands it's average!
