Season 1, Episode 28
8/10
Edgy and well paced, impressive episode.
20 July 2023
Tim Collier attends a secret assignation with a man named Guy de Seiberd, he doesn't turn up, Tom gets a beating for his trouble. Determined to find out the truth, Collier visits Normandy, and discovers a family full of secrets.

Rather good, The Grandmother is a more edgy episode, it has a bit of tension, and rates as one of the only times that one of The Four Just Men was placed in real and present danger.

It was good to see Nicole playing a slightly more active role, too often she was sent away out of danger. We learn that Tim isn't perhaps the greatest singer alive.

The hunting scene looked very good, it was definitely atmospheric, you got a sense of Collier's life being under threat. Some good location work here too, scenes at The Train Station looked great.

Great performance from Dan Dailey as always, I tested Marie Ney as the family Matriarch too.

A stronger episode.

8/10.
