A good cast wasted on 3 hours of badly formulated nonsense. No surprises, poor use of flashbacks, a overall disjointed and dreary production

Perez, Tosh and the team are back in series 6 of Ann Cleeves creation 'Shetland'. The shooting of a local lawyer starts a complex investigation to find the killer. A wonderful production full of mystery, suspense and intrigue. Well crafted interwoven storylines set against a backdrop of the island's beautiful and atmospheric landscape.

This stylized production is set in the parallel universe of Hollington Drive. A world so perfect, everything was cleaned and polished daily, including the houses and roads. A brightly painted world, where littering was punishable by death. I was convinced it was going to be some classy remake of 'The Stepford Wives' but unfortunately Anna Maxwell-Martin didn't get cloned at the end.

Angela's controlling and physically abusive husband Oliver appears to be going to extreme lengths to get rid of her. Although this is well acted and full of intrigue, surely there must be more to the plotline. Oliver's actions appear to be unbelievable and are not only unrealistically complicaed but also full of loopholes. I hope this is not just a pitiful attempt to pad out 6 episodes, by writing such a ridiculously contrived storyline.

Welcome to the 3rd and final series (6 episodes) of Craith (Hidden - in English). Craith - is a Welsh psychological crime drama created by Ed Talfan. Beautifully filmed, contrasting the hardship, discrimination and suspicions of community life with the stunning and atmospheric scenery of Snowdonia National Park. DCI Cadi John (Sian Reese-Williams) searches for answers, in not only a murder investigation but her own troubled personal life. A slow- burning drama, unwinding into a world of emotional heartbreak, plagued by dark characters and tortured souls.
