It seemed like everyone lived in a house with huge windows overlooking the sea?.but you would be better served watching another Vera episode. If u have nothing is to watch, catch this, the scenery is OK. The cult angle was interesting, but many mystery murders find that the murder is related to their past and this makes them even more crazy about finding the answer, but once again I just didn't feel passion with this actor.and if the protagonist is not passionate about what he does, how can u expect us, the viewer, to be. My favorite Vera scenes are when she looks at the murder board, turns around and yells at everybody to get to work and find the answer.

In one scene, he looks at the murder board and scratches his chin and. And although this actor is eye candy, he looks super bored with his work. Half of the 20th century protagonist are gay so that's not 'quirky' anymore. You won't find either of these components at work here. (Ex Grantchester, Vera, Murder in paradise, Sherlock Holmes, Shetland, etc.). Everything else in their lives is secondary. Two main components of a good detective story is that, first, the protagonist is quirky, or tormented, or an alcoholic, crazy, goofy, and/or fish a out of water and second, they are extremely passionate about being a detective, by finding the killer, and justice for the victims.

I was so excited to hear that this show was based on novel by Ann Cleeve, the author of Vera and Shetland, two of my top10 British detective stories! The second a Vera episode is released, I watch it and about a week later I watched it again.
