Yes, we watched it a year or two back. Maybe a little slow but that added to the dark atmosphere. Enjoyed it. Looks like there’s a second series coming out this year.

I don't really "do" TV but I really enjoyed this slow burner of a convoluted and twisting crime drama.

And no bloody owls!

Purely for idle curiosity chat purposes and nothing deeper than that...

Supercop asks murder of mayor why he didn't get rid of the key. Murderer simply says he didn't think of it or similar. we are led to believe (reasonably) that murderer had taken leave of his senses during the act. But he then left the key in his kerosene (petrol?) soaked trousers in his house for his wife to launder at sometime. Are we really to believe that in the cold light of day once he'd "come down" from his momentary lapse of reason (I'm trying to be kind here!) he didn't then think "Hmmm. Maybe leaving such obvious evidence lieing around iusn;t the brightest idea. Particularly because of my ... domestic situation... vis a vis Supercop" ?

Should we believe that in fact murderer wanted to be caught?

And - chainsaw. The users of the chainsaw are clearly cold hearted clinical thinkers. Yet they considered washing a chainsaw down sufficient? Why not destroy it completely? At least remove the chain and drop the chainsaw out to sea in one place and the chain in another part miles away - they had a boat after all?? !!! Or is it that as a bunch there were so arrogant in their societal psition they believed they were untouchable etc?

And - the shed. We see the victim beating at a window in the door of his shed. a shed that we know has a spade at least in it. Not going to try and break the glass to at least try and escape through the hole ? it wasn't a large window but he wasn't a big bloke?

Mind you - that's three "plot holes" in something like 450 minutes of storyline so not bad going! And the middle one above could be seen as arrogance etc for sure.
