Passenger

I feel this show could have had potential but all just went very boringly downhill after episode one. The idea of the missing girl , the creature in the woods , the dead animals (which we still don't know why) could have made an interesting plot but it never ended up being about that. To be quite frank i don't even really know what the show was about or what the point of half the characters were. The lad watching the cameras at the end i cant even remember him in the other episodes. Was it drugs , was it not who knows. It ended feeling like there would still be another episode yet there wasnt. Dont know if anyone else agrees.

Fancied this one but afraid it turned out to be a dud. The jokey opening suggested humour that didn't materialise. In fact for older viewers, it felt a bit like The League of Gentleman with all the funny bits extracted.

I couldn't really work out what the genre was or what the story is about. There seems to be a beast on the loose in the woods next door to the fictional Lancashire town of 'Chadder Vale'.

None of it really added up for me. The pointlessly sweary script didn't setup what we were getting into. Production values were poor, dialogue was hard to hear, lots of the interior scenes weren't lit properly (don't they have electricity in Lancashire?) and direction was poor generally with lots of weird shots and angles.

The cops just weren't convincing at all and looked they were based in a squat. There weren't any likable characters and it seemed aimless - a drama that didn't really have any real drama in it.

Might have worked better as a 30 minute black comedy. I'm afraid after episode one 'Chadder Vale' is already in my rear view mirror.

I don't understand all the hate for this as it really isn't a terrible drama.

My only criticism is that we need another series to find out what's been what, and all the moaners might scupper that!

I enjoyed the premise and I liked the characters. And there being a few stories running concurrently is fine with me.

I binged over the bank holiday weekend but would have happily watched this go out on a Sunday evening each week.

I agree it's not exactly a comedy but I don't think that should be held against it.

They have to make another series though because there are way too many threads to tidy up.

Also, I guessed who was involved right at the start but now we need to find out more about them!

It was compelling. I just had to bingewatch series 1 (in the event of any more to come). It was heavily advertised but don't believe the hype.

A great list of Northern actors were assembled up on the moors.

It's just difficult to pinpoint where it went so wrong.

Great viewing for the Easter break? Itv would have been better off showing the 8 episodes of Midsomer Murders that the UK has yet to see but have already been screened in other regions of the world.

The worst thing is that I gave 5 hours of my life to the show and it didn't even conclude.

I read somewhere that the writer spent 2 or 3 years putting this together so, should it be recommissioned, we could have a long wait to see what happens next.

Don't waste your time itv and, more importantly, don't waste ours.

Plenty of things dragged this potentially enjoyable, but ultimately topical and unsophisticated, production down, such as:

• Underdeveloped characters/relationships
• Slow pacing
• Repetitious events; too many coughing scenes; many characters involved in 'terror in the woods', but no reveals by two thirds of the way through the series; alarms and goo in multiple lab scenes, but no conclusive data/outcome at all; animal mutilation images on a loop; and the same with overly dramatic conversations...
• Annoying relationship dramas that don't drive a story
• Some of the comedic scripting works, but not much
• An unsympathetic and generally negative tone (damaged and/or unlikable characters, and that's supposed to be funny)
