Six Four

Was an ok drama only 4 episodes so not to drawn out. The story just wasn't the best. Wouldn't say it was nail biting stuff. Not sure the end was the outcome I would have wanted. But did expect that it would be the outcome. Maybe leaving it open so that they can continue and have another series. I probably would watch another series of it. There probably would be enough to have another one. Liked the actors in the drama nice to watch something set in Scotland with nice Scottish accents. It's nice to see places that you can recognise in a drama. James cosmos is always good as is Kevin Mckidd. Always like to watch a Scottish drama x.

Well I thought that it seemed a strong cast but oh dear, oh dear! What induced Kevin McKidd and James Cosmo to take part in this mish mash? The plot is so convoluted that I don't think the cast even understood it. The sub plot of Kevin's missing daughter was utterly irrelevant and completely misleading. Then there was the dishonest senior cop. Or was he? Then another local copper turned up with an axe to grind. With me so far because I'm not! It just seems to be a rewrite of. Then it was all about Scottish independence and how the terrible English government security services were interfering. Of course there were 2 characters who may or may not have been something important. To me, it's just a very poor rewrite of "Scotch on the Rocks".

Six Four: Another dark detective mystery series set in Edinburgh, Glasgow, London and rural Scotland., Detective Constable Chris O'Neill (Kevin McKidd) and his wife, Micheele (Vinette Robinson), an ex-uncover officer are worried, their daughter has been missing for three weeks. An unrelated missing person case from 16 yeaes ago rears it's head again. The father in this case, James Cosmo believes that a cover up took place. Then the Justice Seretary's daughter is kidnapped, Dark and gritty involving corruption, murder, security service involvement and secret papers. Michelle has her own secrets to keep as she heads to London seeking help from contacts in her undercover days in a quest to find her daughter. A multi-layered thriller which will keep you guessing as to what is really at stake. On ITVX and RTE2. 8/10.

I found this show to be highly engaging, thanks in no small part to the standout performances from McKidd and Coyle. With its bleak atmosphere, intricate plot, and ample intrigue, it evokes the feel of a Scandinavian crime drama.

Based on Hideo Yokoyama's novel, the show successfully transports the action from Japan to Scotland. While the plot may not be the most original - after all, TV is full of thrillers centered around missing girls - the story moves at a satisfying pace and delivers plenty of thrilling moments over the course of its four episodes. What sets it apart is its ability to balance visceral interpersonal emotion with genuine thrills, a feat that's never easy to pull off.

It's one of those series to watch to pass the time..it's not too bad,but sadly it's not too memorable either. Acting by the main actor, Kevin McKid I thought, was good - moody, and brooding but unfortunately I felt Vinette Robinson was overacting - I understand she was supposed to be angry and stressed but she came out unlikeable...i didn't enjoy watching the initial scenes with her in it..she only became likeable at the end.

The story line was interesting- juxtaposing a recent incident to a similar one from long ago, with the involvement of political figures in it. The back story of Scotland's quest for independence was also highlighted in this series but it's not something I understand much of, so that bit was lost on me.
