There’s a long, wannabe-Nordic-noir moment of tranquillity, all tinkly piano notes and shots of berries growing on trees, then Collersdale is dragging Joe off down the scree towards the lakeside. They haven’t even made it out of the postcode before the car smashes into a dry stone wall. His driving, however, is as out-of-control as his attitude towards parenting. Having tracked the Blackwells down to the Lake District, the hirsute hitman smacks seven bells of shit out of Sam and kidnaps Joe (Max True), raving about the wonderful new life in Spain they’re going to have. The sole motive for his campaign of destruction is to gain custody of Joe Blackwell, who is secretly his son. This is disappointment on an industrial scale.Īfter much speculation, the actions of psychotic and wannabe roadie for The Band Michael Collersdale (Peter Fernandino) turn out to have no connection with the earlier murder of Susan Reynolds. The explanations are inadequate and the climax is a confused mess, washing away any investment in the characters like last night’s bathwater. It’s difficult to know whether to blame the builders, the architect or the developers, but something has gone sadly awry. The materials used in construction were good, but they’ve been put together poorly. Without a plausible explanation for the mysteries built up in preceding weeks and a satisfying emotional finale, viewers are entitled to feel disappointed.

Never mind gorgeously bleak cinematography, a heavy air of suspense and some of Britain’s best acting talent filling out the cast TV thrillers live and die on their stories – in particular, the ending.
