What Remains (2013)
10/10
BEST DRAMA FROM BBC FOR YEARS
21 July 2023
A detached mansion style house, split into 5 apartments. A decomposed body is found in the loft and turns out to be a tenant from the top flat.

The residents in the house all have their own stuff going on; a young couple who are pregnant, a lesbian couple in a coercive relationship, a man who has his son and his lover each visiting but not knowing about the other, and a lecherous disabled school master in the basement.

Each have a connection with the deceased but was it suicide or murder?

Len Harper is on his last day in the Police before his retirement. He goes to the house when the body is reported but has to let go at the end of the day. Whilst the team in CID (?) seem uninterested to investigate, Len is curious and determined not to let it go I investigated. So he does a bit of digging around and begins to find the links and dark secrets that are deeply hidden!

Twists and turns kept me gripped until the closing scene in the last episode. Very unusual for the BBC, not woke, not anti-men, not cringy at all. I wish they would produce more decent material like this rather than waste their resources on mediocre dramas that panda to the few.

15/10!!!
