A good start to a promising series, hopefully. James Nesbit is always brilliant anyway.

fevertree if pm was working, I’d message you, don’t want to put on here for those who’ve recorded/catch up!

It seems to be about the keeping of Peace in NA, at any cost. I enjoyed it because it was sharp, well-written and pacy. Jed Mercurio (I think). Would have preferred it over 4 nights.

I like a NI accent so this was right up my street,some good actors in it .Lorcan Cranitch who I remember from Cracker and Ballykissangel is always good .As an introduction to the back story I think it worked well.

We watched it, thought it is promising. However smile I need to find an episode guide, or a review that will help me understand what the heck went on half the time! Anyone with a take on it, please? smile

Yes that’s right Sar53 the last episode will be 22nd March and BST starts the Sunday after!

I've recorded it, will give it a go, one episode only, if it doesn't reel me in, then won't continue. Probably won't watch it tonight though because that wonderful series with Nicola Walker and Sanjeev Bhaskar returns.

Wasn’t interested in watching it but DH put it on, after 20minutes I was enjoying it.

Sar53 Mon 22-Feb-21 09:38:39

Not sure about the clocks Urms, I think that is March.

Sar53 Mon 22-Feb-21 09:37:18

We enjoyed it too, looking forward to the next episode.

Urmstongran Mon 22-Feb-21 09:34:03

I found it really good and I’m looking forward to next Sunday’s episode (of 4 I think so not over drawn out). By then the clocks will have gone forward an hour!

Thoroughly enjoyed it, husband is Belfast born and bred, with the accent kircubbin2000! So our watching was occasionally punctuated with ‘that’s xx’.

Gave up after 10 minutes. Thought it was embarrassingly awful and the accents made me cringe.

Really enjoyed!

Lillie

I enjoyed it too. What is the doctor's involvement?

Oh, she’ll probably be James Nesbitt’s love interest!

I think with its links to the Irish Troubles it comes across as grim Merlotgran.

My daughter is living in Belfast, I watched it too. James Nesbitt is great - and the curly haired boy, loved him when he was a silly teenager in whatever that was called!

merlotgran Sun 21-Feb-21 22:03:10

I might try again on catch up. I like James Nesbitt but this didn't grab me at all.

Calendargirl Sun 21-Feb-21 22:01:12

Just watched first episode.

Looks promising.

Guessed the necklace would feature prominently in the storyline.
