Is it for me?
It is a sad mystery for viewers who would rather sit in a mood than chase twists. Kelly Reilly plays Jackie's grief through glances and pauses, never big speeches. Early on, Jonathan Pryce's elder Solomon preaches fire and brimstone to locals gathered on the beach, with a baleful stare that makes the sea look like part of the sermon. Rafe Spall's Bull is blunt and treats her as a suspect.
Before you start
It is one slow investigation told in weekly episodes, so give the first two room to set the mood before judging the pace.
1 season, 6 episodes, 63 min each, about 6 hours so far
