    Just a word on "wee lassie"

    It is the way Scots speak. If you were to hear "small girl" or "little girl" ten times in a movie, would you think that a parody.

    Small view of the world...

    Ending fade

    The acting was solid by all the characters. Though Kaya (Mirren Mack) looked a bit too old for the 18yr old part she was playing. This series kept me interested up until episode 4 where it started dragging out and by the time the last episode 5 began, any mystery or twist had been well dealt to and it developed a sloppy soapy feel. So the ending went out with a fizzle. Maybe one episode too long for the material.

    Previous review

    Maybe if they had paid attention to the storyline they would realise it's not a social worker but a property developer who owns half of Glasgow. Interesting plot with the added bonus of no false Glasgow accents.

    Intriguing and enthralling

    A very interesting and clever plot, great acting and good solid story that until the last half hour of the last episode you didn't quite know how it would play out. Lovely scenery and nice city shots and great to see a proper satisfying ending.

    Great characters depth

    The characters have a great depth and they slowly get revelead to the viewer with good plot twists! After episode 2 is hard to know yet if the main male character is a good character or a villain... good suspence and "misteri" which will make you curious to watch the new episode!

    • Trivia
      AN award-winning holiday home on the Rosneath peninsula will be the setting of the new BBC drama series. Cape Cove, built on the site of a former World War Two naval outlook post, is to feature in The Nest. The stunning beach house, designed by Cameron Webster Architects and completed in 2012, sits right on the water's edge with spectacular views of Loch Long and the Firth of Clyde and received award recognition from the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS), the Glasgow Institute of Architects (GIA) and the Saltire Society Housing Award in 2012.
