Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

sasha99 Skip it--not worth the time.**Contains massive and explicit spoilers below** **You have been warned** This is one of the grimmest stories I've ever watched. Normally I like BBC productions and they're usually pretty good, but this one dragged on and on. This was a village of twisted little freaks. Anyone and everyone could have done it.Another reviewer called the black ex-cop a heroine, and all I can say is WTF? She framed someone who wasn't the killer in order to save her husband! Yikes.And an unanswered question: what happened to the body? Confession: I skipped the second-to-last episode because I was bored, but still curious. If the body was found in that episode, I apologize.

Michael Ritchie As others have noted, this has a Twin Peaks vibe, which is a good thing, but it also has big script problems. After taking four hours to build up the story and cast suspicion on everyone, the final hour wraps things up by introducing at least two major plot points that came rather unfairly out of the blue (the villains's motive and a supernatural bent in the finale). Had the story played fairer with the viewer, I would have liked this more. There are virtually no likable characters, and even the ones who might seem to be moral centers are not, and spending five hours with people you don't really care about is a real test of the viewer's constitution. Decent acting, certainly, and a nice mood is set throughout, but overall not satisfying.

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.

dan-421-105621 The disappearance of the May Queen in an idyllic English village shatters the veneer that's masked years of intrigue. Like beetles crawling out from under freshly cracked bark - historic issues swarm to the surface, each one a motivation for a resident to want her out of the way for good. What happened to Hattie? Did she run away? Is she really dead as people assume? This is a production that Kudos & BBC can be proud of. One where the casting worked and the characters were utterly believable. The script was solid and the story gripping without reaching for gimmicks. I enjoyed how it subtly touched on the old English mysteries without the need to drench them in exposition - and the misdirection kept me wondering who was responsible right up until the final moments. Yet it never felt laboured or contrived, delivering a steady flow of well crafted storytelling up to the last second.Watching this was time well spent.
