Traces (2019–2022)
7/10
Luke warm initially, but gets hotter as it develops.
2 February 2021
Emma returns to Dundee after years in Manchester, to take up a new job, she soon learns that there is a link with her job, and her mother's murder.

This series really does take a bit of time to warm up, it is luke warm for spells, but the final two episodes are excellent. You could lose it in the middle, but I urge you to stick with it, as if does eventually deliver.

I must have watched Part one when it first aired on Alibi, but not gotten into it, however when it was put out on The BBC, I got into it. It improves in Part two when Martin Compston appears.

Episode one is so important, you will need lots of information from it, so if you're watching this for the first time, you need to concentrate.

The acting is very good, plenty of strong performances here, but it's Vincent Regan who steals it, ahead of Compston, Regan cuts one very menacing figure.

It's an up and down journey, but ultimately it's worth sticking with, 7/10.
