Vigil (2021 Tom Edge & co-scr)

It is of course a CGI submarine. Couldn't understand the moment where they're about to collide with tanker so dive under it - I would have gone left or right myself.

Loved the set-up. The investigating detective (Suranne Jones) has had an uncomfortable  experience in the water. She can't send messages out. Her GF has to use familiar stuff to secrete information coming in.

Martin Compston, Rose Leslie (The Good Fight), Shaun Evans, Paterson Joseph, Adam James, Lorne MacFadyen (no relation), Anji Mohindra, Stephen Dillane, Lolita Chakrabarti.

Edge wrote Strike and Judy. The title Vigil is oddly elusive.

In episode 5, Suranne finally has a shower (only because of a Sars threat, however), but still we haven't seen her eat anything.

Generally exciting, but the last half hour's a bit boring.
