A team of builders working on a redevelopment site unearth the body of a woman, buried in approximately 1998, a death that was far from natural.
I expect in the planning stage top of the board was the word 'moody,' every single aspect is moody, the locations, the character, the lighting, the tone even the camera work.
The Scottish locations are utterly breathtaking, so beautiful.
Lots of delayed camera work, and pauses. Is it trying to re-create Waking the Dead?
As Claire says to Hind, as a DCI he is a walking cliché, he's bitter, grumpy, fat (actually he's not, he's quite a smart chap.) Johnny Harris is very 'gangstar.' In the Flesh's Luke Newberry adds a little bit of light to the darkness of the episode, DS Boyce is a bit wet, but he's fun at least. I adore Anne Marie Duff, she's a brilliant actress, I'll stick with it in the hope that it opens up a little bit. I'm sure Duff will add something to it.
The story is interesting, the acting is a high standard, it's a bit slow and a wee bit unoriginal, it's intriguing enough though 6/10.
