A really promising start to a creepy and very different style of crime drama.
The acting is strong and the twist at the end of the first episode (whilst somewhat telegraphed) is certainly a good one.
Knowing that the series is based on a real life cult who snatched children makes this an even more affecting drama. I will certainly be having a search for some articles about the real life cult.
The identikit blond bob haircuts and tracksuits help to make the whole piece more sinister and the music used helps to build the tension without being overbearing.
Definitely worth a watch if you want something a bit different from your usual police dramas.

After enjoying the first two series of this show, I was looking forward to this third series. However, I have been a little disappointed by this opening episode.
In short, nothing much happens for the first 25 minutes. Stocker mopes around having flashbacks to her colleague's death in series 2 and complaining about a building project in the valley which has received the planning green light (and has a very perfunctory sex scene), whilst Gedeon seems to be tripping for most of the early scenes that he is in (in some sort of mental hospital?).
There is a bike crash, which presumably will form the basis for some kind of plot going forwards but it really has taken a long time to get going.
