Yeah we love Grace but we especially love seeing him put under pressure the way he was in this episode, almost going off the rails. All the main cast are great and some fammiliar faces from other shows in this one.

Nice bit of tension and some proper decent acting for your Sunday night watch what more do you you want!

There was a proper villain here - not giving the game away - and we loved to watch Grace and team sniff them out.

Also some emotional scenes among the relationships..just when you things things are working out for poor old Grace and his missus, he jammies it up for himself. Miss this show when it's finished. Looking forward to the next one.

Everyone has secrets in the repressive Ireland of the 1990s. This show does a good job of fulfilling the thriller beats, while keeping us fully engaged with the characters. Disappearances (likely kindnappings) go completely ignored by Irish police whose indifference is jaw-dropping. Based on real-life stories where dozens of young women went missing on the east coast of Ireland without ever being found. A serial killer has to be the obvious suspect.

The show becomes incerasingly fictional as it near enough identifies the abductor/murderer bit the end. Final episode maybe has too much to do in regards to plot, and loses sight of finely tuned character and drama notes which were so enjoyable in the rest of the show. One star removed for this.

So interesting to watch a subtle thriller show depicting a time and place I'm unfamiliar with, and it seems like those poor women really deserve justice.
