The Long Call (2021)
7/10
More a 6 but extra point just for Anita Dobson
10 December 2021
Having just binged on Shetland (all in 2 weeks), Broadchurch and Hinterland plus a few others ..... this one is again very similar to those just mentioned. Lead man in charge is slightly damaged due to life in general and all with a strong woman being his second. Above titles in order of best first etc.

This series doesn't pick up any speed and just makes it way through the 4 episodes slowly and methodically. Really not much real action .... what you should pay attention to is the writing and the acting. I would unfortunately be placing this show at the end of above list. Watch the others first if you have a chance ... but the scenery is as usual ... awesome.

Casting is very well done, love Juliet Stevenson but major kudos to Anita Dobson .... wow does she shine in the drab and harried portrayal of Grace. Also one character that kept drawing my attention and not sure why. I then checked her name .... Aiofe Hinds .... ahhh Ciaran Hinds daughter another up and coming actor in family.
