This series is so, well, very Irish - in the best possible ways. Yes, the series is grey, as noted by the previous reviewer and it fits the mood not just of the title of the series, but of the town and the lives therein.
And then things start poppin when the editor of the town newspaper changes things up. That one sentence flips the towns' world and we get to view all the twists and turns along with all the shadows and learn all townspeople secrets.
Great characters and story lines. The cinematography is subtle, like the colors of the winter sea and landscape.
If you want flashy - this isn't the one. If you want subtly funny and smart - give this one a go. You just might enjoy it!
