A feud begins to brew between sisters Helen and Theresa, on the day that a ten year old Alex disappears from the idyllic suburbs of Hollington Drive.
The trailers and images made out that this was a slick and stylish thriller, unfortunately this first episode doesn't exactly get the pulse racing, it's a bit of a mundane beginning. It wasn't bad, it was watchable, just hard to score it highly, as it just felt a bit flat. Well made and well acted.
Some of the characters are really hard work, Eddie is the biggest idiot I've seen on screen for some time, and as for The Sisters Grim, they are a depressing pair of siblings.
The last time I recall Anna Maxwell Martin and Rachel Stirling working together it was on The Bletchley Circle, I think their talents were better used there.
Not bad, just a bit underwhelming, 5/10.
