Wow this was good.
Joanna Scanlon and Alexander Roach both starred in the brilliant No Offence and are both excellent here too.
The story is about a mother who's daughter was murdered by a local boy but the body was never found. The murderer played by Iwan Reon has never been able to recall what he did with the body but despite this he is granted parole.
What follows is fascinating look at a mothers love and devotion and how it affects everyone around her and the journalist who moved away after the murder of her friend coming back to write a story about the murder.
There a twists and turns aplenty and a few subplots that are tied up nicely and some red herrings that Line Of Duty would be proud of but it's the strength of acting not just from its stars but a strong supporting cast that kept me watching and guessing. (I actually guessed right but won't spoil it for anyone here)
Filmed in both Welsh and English (The Light In The Hall) this is a really strong thriller right up there with the best of British TV.
Highly recommended.
