Very sadly, this new series feels as if it's had a massive budget cut. The whole hangs together by dint of the two main protagonists and the missing two are ghosts at the table.

Very much Sunday afternoon in New Zealand viewing I fear.

Slightly stilted ?

Clearly done under socially distanced circumstances. But it starts a bit like the actors are nervous of getting back into character. Acting doesn't flow so well. Emilia Fox looking older (sorry just passing comment) Good story line as usual.

A Shadow from the past.

Jack and Nikki are called to a Prison, where a young prisoner was killed during a riot, whilst there, Nikki spots a face that haunted her a decade ago.

A very long wait, but oh my days, this was well worth it, let's hope the rest of the series is up to this standard, this was genuinely superb.

I was on edge and tense from start to finish, this was intense, gritty, dramatic, and did serve to please core fans, this delivered on every single element.

An episode that is perhaps better for long term fans, as opposed to casual viewers, if you know the show well, you will know the story it's based on incredibly well, arguably the show's greatest two part story, what a smart move to revisit such a classic.

Scott Weston is one of the show's best characters, and Tittensor is once again first rate, he's an impressive actor, his scenes with Fox were fantastic.

Worth noting, that despite this being filmed during a problematic time, it still felt very natural, no huge gaps between actors, a credit to all involved.

Cannot wait for Part 2, I hoped as a series opener it would be very good, this was awesome, 10/10.

Poor quality tv

Seems more like a day time tv drama than the high quality drama it used to be from this episodes example.

There was no opening credit, and this stupid keyboard music through out. Just a cheap COVID compliant production. If the quality and standard is not there, why bother producing this dumbed down production.

The acting isn't the best but like a local village production. Let's hope episodes 3 and 4 are better. Disappointing.

So Nicky???

What Do You think?

Looks Like Head Lacerations and Bruising to the Eye!!

Nothing like Stating the Bleeding obvious is there Nicky🙈

and So it Continues as it seems No one really wanted to come back to work for series 24!

The Acting from everyone is Sub Par and No one is on their Game after their break. Hopefully things improve.
