On the day that she's meant to be crowned May Queen, Hattie Sutton vanishes without a trace, all manner of village secrets are forced out into the open.
It's a decent five part series, it jumped on The Broadchurch bandwagon, where that succeeds on every level, this one falters, for two reasons, pacing and characters.
It's very slow, it seems to take an age for anything to happen, and when it does, your concentration may have dipped somewhat. The characters are too overdone, everyone is suspicious, sinister, and seems to have a motive, none of them are plain old fashioned nice either, you wait five hours for one singular act of kindness.
It's a gorgeous looking series, very well presented, beautifully shot, they make full use of the idyllic location too.
I've read a few reviews, where people have commented that the ending spoils it, for me it's perhaps saved by the ending, the first three episodes are quite slow, the last two, ridiculously fat fetched, but at least there's some entertainment.
It's worth seeing, but it's not as good as I remembered it being. 6/10.
