There is zero chemistry between the two actors, which makes Izzy nothing more than a plot device. The relationship makes no sense.

There is a thriller element holding the story together. .... You will spend as much time gawping at the wealth as worrying about the characters.

It’s The Goonies for senior citizens, full of warmth and never taking itself too seriously.

The small-town eccentricity also seems forced, but what saves the show is the quality of the performances. .... The opening whodunnit is crisply written and the cast have fun.

Neil Forsyth (the writer of Guilt and The Gold) has turned this little-known episode in British history into a sure-footed six-part thriller. You will never stop marvelling throughout at the fact that it really happened.
