Best episode of the series. Pretty good.
Sleepin_Dragon3 November 2021
Matthew has had a suspect in mind for some time, he sets about arresting his suspect, but soon finds obstacles in the path.

Don't go into this expecting high octane, or even energetic drama, it's all very casual, very subtle drama.

I do actually think this has been the best episode of this four part series, it definitely improved as it went on, the main issue that has dogged this show from the off, is the pacing, it's been agonisingly slow. There is a lot more content in the final half hour, than in the rest of the show combined.

7/10.

Its amazing how religion can, and has been used to warp people, and suppress people. This doesn't exactly show The Brethren in a good light.

Ben Aldridge has been very good, he was well cast here, Martin Shaw and Juliet Stevenson were very, very good, I actually thought that Anita Dobson stole it.

This really doesn't get going at all.

I know it's Devon and about a religious community but the show really lacks some oomph.

A good performance by Anita Dobson here and Juliet Stevenson plays a good role but watching Ben Aldridge is like seeing paint dry.

It should have been so much better.

Nice scenery

Like Doc Martin, the setting is really the star here. Plot and reveal were uninspired. But actress Anita Dobson as Grace saved the show whenever she was on screen.

Episode 4

Warning: Spoilers
DI Venn and DC Rafferty finally get the culprit.

However they were manipulated by another person. That is the real suspect that Venn wants to nail.

You can sense it had to be someone that Venn had a close connection with once. Hence why there was so much baggage in this story.

It was all very bland and mundane. It relied too much on pretty views of the scenery.

At least Anita Dobson did not chew up the scenery as she used to do in Eastenders.
