In Plain Sight

Seemingly, everything should be in place - the script based on true characters and events, leading roles performed by good character actors (Douglas Henshall and Martin Compston), apparently realistic observance of the era, 3 episodes only... But something was not there - and I am unable to express what exactly; or perhaps I am spoilt by so many good UK series, including with the presence of the actors mentioned. Usually I tend to eagerly wait for the following episode, but not with this series. Partially because the solution was known anyway.

Still, In Plain Sight is above average and if interested in realistic crime with historical touch, then your time is not wasted.

A gruesome tale well told, set in one of my favorite places on earth. I always enjoy learning more about Scotland's history, even the darker stories. The cast members play their roles well, and the storyline tracks history pretty closely. Of course, some details are missing, but the important stuff is there. Watch it. Now, to plan another trip to Scotland...

Great acting, great cast, extremely well made series based on true events in my eyes its a must see show.

There has to be more episodic television programs about Detective Muncie of Police Scotland! The serious crimes and their investigative solutions by this man warrant much more television or movie exposure. If he was a Londoner or a New Yorker, everyone would know about this Detective and his accomplishments!

Looking for advice on the new Miss Mary McCormack drama with the same name I clicked this one by accident. It seemed more interesting, so I streamed all 3 episodes. Oh so glad I did. It is a Police drama set in 1980s Scotland, which I can only describe as a sort of whodunnit in reverse. Very recommendable.
