Critic Reviews:

• " It’s a stretch to anchor that distinctive noir quality in rainy England. Mind you, if you’re a fan of old-school British police procedurals featuring older actors with weather-beaten faces, full of lived-in feelings, it will hit all the notes." – John Doyle (Globe and Mail)

• " I have to say they've done a neat enough job, swirling mists and grim seaweedy docks evoking an imaginarium of hidden threat constantly. " – Euan Ferguson (Observer, UK)

• " This was a tense and powerful opener, so let's hope the remaining five episodes keep turning up the heat. " – Adam Sweeting (The Arts Desk)
