An excellent start to a new series, the kind of quality production which it seems only Britain can make. It is in the same genre as Shakespeare and Hathaway, Queens of Mystery, McDonald and Dodds, and even the exotically-set Death in Paradise, where we see a mystery, usually involving murder, in a setting away from the big cities, without anyone prowling around pointing guns, anybody shrieking "Oh my gaaahhd", and absolutely zero awful 'special effects'.
For the viewer, this provides good entertainment rather than scariness, with plots that present sufficient challenge to the mind.
The central characters are very well-drawn, the script was good, and I fail to fathom what the reviewer who complained about the language was on about. That person must have been listening to a totally different sound track!
Finally, where better than Whitstable? My wife is a Kent girl, and although we live in Australia, we have visited Whitstable twice, and massively enjoyed the wonderful oysters. So the scenes were delightfully familiar, although as just a quiet whisper, I have to say that Hobart oysters do have an edge over the Kentish ones. Maybe it's the cleaner water.
Well done - 8/10.
