Minicarmen I came here to see if IMDb could suggest something similar to this. It's been about a year since I watched it and I still remember how good it was. I see other ratings range from 1 to 10, so there's obviously quite a difference of opinion. I think it's unfair that some reviewers gave it a low rating because they expected a straight-forward police procedural and got something else. My only quibble was that the teenagers seemed a little older than the story said, and apart from that I thought it was fabulous and unpredictable, and I was satisfied with the ending. I strongly recommend it. Watch with an open mind, and pay attention.

outtahr34 My eyes were crossing by the third episode and I knew that there was no way to save this script. Self-indulgent acting by otherwise good actors, a script that dies quite soon after Hattie did and direction that pulled out every bit of scariness -- fish eye lenses, ultra closeups, trees waving mysteriously in the wind, scary music -- enough!! BBC is usually quite good about taking a spare three to five episodes and making for a satisfying story that would take most American series 26 episodes to complete. No more episodes would save this turkey. By the last episode, I wondered who killed the script, not who killed Hattie.

pwetterstrand I was astonished by the reviews here. I love all the small stories that are painted up. Families, couples and individuals. The acting is great with some exemptions. I have just watched episode 1 and I like it. There are parts that smells excellence, but some errors in the script make good scenes turn out to be stupid. I think that the first episode would have earned in a extra round of external reading. "Does this work?" "Does this make sense?" The photo is good. The actors are good. The script is some times good some times awful. Good work on the details. Several of the characters are believable. But I can stand some errors. I can. I wonder where this will lead to. Where to go after episode 1?

Prismark10 This is obviously a drama inspired by Twin Peaks and then those slew of Scandinavian dramas where things happen slowly after a murder.It also has to be noted that Kudos the production company also made Broadchurch that touches on similar themes.It's May Day and a small community waits excitedly for the parade to begin. Local teenager Linus Newcombe (Max Fowler), watches woefully as the love of his life, Caitlin Sutton (Leila Mimmack), kisses a rival. Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Caitlin's twin and the beautiful May Queen, Hattie Sutton (also Leila Mimmack) travels on her journey to appear as the town's symbol of new life. However she fails to appear and the town is spinning with suspicion that she has been taken. Her twin sister thinks she has been murdered.So you have small town by the woods, people with dark secrets and a person who goes missing, maybe dead and the same actress playing the relative. So far so David Lynch!The premise is intriguing with some new age sentiments. We have a cast of characters led by Peter Firth, Aiden Gillan, Lesley Manville, Sophie Okonedo who all look like that they have something to hide and the male members in the drama all look that they are likely to be in the frame and there some downright vile people living in this town especially Okonedo's policeman husband.It just feels too slow moving. I can understand that these types of dramas need room to breath but here its just filler for its five part nightly slot and it was several episodes in before a body is found. There was too much just marking time, setting up pointless stuff which then goes nowhere. It might be bad writing thankfully the tempo picks up a bit after episode three.The conclusion might leave some people underwhelmed as it veers more to the supernatural as it builds up slightly in its spookier themes. This drama was no great shakes, it had far too many over long shots of the male characters furrowing their brows and looking worried as if to emphasise them as suspects. A little bit too clunky and clichéd outside its new age aura.
