Reviews

Paul Evans When DI Helen Weeks discovers she's pregnant, she and partner Paul return to her hometown to give the news to her father. A place she hates, Helen has to stay to help out school friend Linda, who's partner has been arrested for the abduction of two young girls. The case leads Helen to open a case which is close to home.A miniseries, but more two two parters, the first sees Helen help Linda look for the abductor of two girls, the second sees her open a case of abuse against her in her youth.I would agree with those that say they felt a little cheated with the solution, but does every drama need to be black and white? MyAnna Buring has done some great TV, including Banished and Ripper Street, once again she is outstanding, she leads the drama with real command, adding raw emotion into her character. She is superb, particularly well supported by Ben Batt and Matt King.The only annoyance has to be her pregnancy suit, did they mix it up with one for a Killer Whale?This show has the makings of a really good series, with such strong viewing figures I hope the potential is realised, and the show returns, excellent drama. 9/10

Shiva Moon I loved this programme but, without giving anything away, I was expecting a few more episodes, as there are a lot of unanswered questions and unresolved plot-lines. It just kind of finished without warning, which is a shame because the rest of it was so beautifully written. Perhaps they're angling to see if it's picked up and want to turn it into a series; I hope so because, as it is, it was a big let-down, after a brilliant beginning. I started by giving the series 10 stars; I have now revised this to 6 because it just fizzled out and left me feeling cheated.

daveym-649-444962 This review concentrates on the first two episodes but the lack of quality can easily be directed to the second two episodes Dreadful Acting, implausible plot line and a lack of continuity that was, quite frankly, breathtaking.The flashbacks, the way people spoke to each other - a detective to her boss - blimey.As for the cars - different number plates from one scene to the next - people travelling in the back of the car had a window behind them when the camera was in the car (like an estate car) and yet there was no window on the outside as they got out of the car. Abandoning cars in the middle of the village and a supposedly heavily pregnant police officer, getting and involved with a case outside of her force, barking orders and getting into fightsComplete and utter rubbish

paul2001sw-1 'In the Dark' is a strange kind of television series: well-acted (MyAnna Buring stands out in the lead role), and with interesting themes, but marred by a broadly implausible premise (female detective brings criminals to justice while nine-and-a-half month's pregnant) and sudden plot leaps. Danny Brockelhurst is an experienced writer, and to be fair, here he is adapting books and not writing from a clean slate, but the script is definitely uneven, and the result falls between fast and taut, and something lengthier and deeper which might have told a more coherent tale.
