Still worth the watch, Lee Ingleby is a fine actor, shame George Gently finished I thought a follow up series with Bacchus and Rachel would have been interesting. Still this is a solid drama, sure we've seen similar story lines before but show me something original these days, it's not easy. At least this time the man is innocent instead of the usual stereotype of the bad husband really did it, this time it's a bad wife.I applied the logic of the likes of Midsomer Murders as to who the real killer was and by episode two I had deducted correctly despite the red herrings. The killer was the only one that wasn't a suspect.I enjoyed it and was happy with the ending, despite having trouble believing David would have been so forgiving of Alice.

No surprises, guessed the killer early doors, no suspense, no emotional connection to the characters, couldn't care less about any of them. So run of the mill how is this on at prime time on ITV, nothing to distinguish it from any other mediocre whodunit, what was the point of it, a waste of time for everyone watching and everyone involved in making it.

This a fine piece of television with a constantly weaving story line that keeps you rivited to your seat. All the characters are well acted and the direction is top class. Best of all, it keeps us thinking - there is no chance to nod off or or pop out to put the kettle on - you'd miss too much. The atmosphere of the coast comes through really well - Hayling Island near Portsmouth is a relatively unknown place to non-boating folk and has a bit of a reputation as a caravan/holiday camp place yet the atmosphere really comes alive here. Great atmospheric cinematography that never gets in the way - no gimmics just good. But on UK transmission, something is very wrong with the sound - especially the outdoor scenes. It sounds like it wasn't recorded properly - almost just as though they used the built-in mic on the camera! They've used a lot of compression to try to make it more distinct and ADR people are in the credits so it doesn't make a lot of sence. Oh well, we must not let it spoil a great piece of TV but please ITV, get your quality control working!!!!!
