Southcliffe (2013)
8/10
A compelling watch.
23 March 2020
Southcliffe, a sleepy English town suffers a major tragedy, innocent people are gunned down by Stephen Morton for no apparent reason, Journalist David Whitehead attempts to get to the bottom of why.

It's a bleak watch, don't expect any cheer or light hearted moments, this is a tough watch. Very solid from start to finish, for me the best episode is the first one, you learn so much from it.

It jumps around a little in terms of timeframe, so it does need a degree of concentration. Some very big characters, some you'll like, most you won't, the worst perhaps being Paul, who really is a monster.

Sean Harris leads initially before handing over to Rory Kinnear, the pair are terrific.

David keeps on saying they should have seen it coming, was he right? I think so.

Very good 8/10.
