Thumbs up from me.

The pace is slow because they're going for realism rather than thrills, which I rather like. And we're seeing more of the detailed effort that goes on behind the scenes. I'm enjoying it.

Bit slow but I enjoyed it, I remember the murders as I have family in that area found the ‘Welsh’ accents a bit iffy but hey ho I’m being picky ?

Pantglas if you have a brain like mine by the time next week comes I have totally forgotten what went on before so 3 consecutive nights suits my pea brain.

I couldn’t remember the murders either but knew the lullaby from primary school. Found it a little slow but I quite like things over three consecutive nights (rather than weekly) and Luke Evans is rather handsome as well.......

I also enjoyed it. I do not remember when it happened. I also enjoy these 3 nighters and for me this one is good.

Actually I enjoyed it. Tension building up as it’s a race (as it was in RL) between the team finding a positive DNA by forensics and the man about to come out of prison in 3 months.

My heart went out to the son of the murderer. His life with his father must have been horrific it won’t just be those awful physical scars.

I like these 3 part dramas on consecutive nights. As Nessa would say ‘Tidy’!

I didn’t remember the case but found it very slow and ponderous and felt it could have been done better in an hours documentary
I didn’t notice the music ....must pay more attention

Loved the music. I didn’t realize before the it was a welsh song as I only knew it from the film Empire of the Sun.

I wasn't keen either.

Started watching this 3 parter last night. Couldn’t recall the case until I saw the pictures of the murdered couple, and remember thinking at the time how shocking to be killed as you walked innocently on a coastal path.

Found it to be a bit plodding. Probably because there was no ‘who dun it’, as we know who did it.
