This immediately feels so familiar - seaside town, aerial shots of landscape, drone shots, murder, police procedural - Broadchurch has a lot to answer for. Has points of difference - detective is gay, had a strict religious group bringing up - but it seems entirely routine, all briefing room of detectives who find out things. A reminder from Emeric Pressburger - where are the thoughts, feelings, accidents, surprise, suspense? And where's the humour?
Ben Aldridge (Our Girl), Siobhan Cullen, Martin Shaw, Juliet Stevenson, Pearl Mackie. Anita Dobson good, though, as controlled housewife.
Quite nicely shot, by Bjørn Ståle Bratberg.
What's 'The Long Call' mean?
