Was rubbish! Switched off before it finished due to it being dull dull dull.

Last week there were a couple of new dramas and they were equally rubbish. 😐

Or is it me?

Thought it was slow but the scenery was awesome which reminded me of the detective program in Norway or Sweden

Decided from the trailers that it was going to be a bit Scottish Bergerac or something similar, so am watching Limitless instead.

I liked it 😐

It was a bit slow, but I thought it had promise.
Shame it's only a two parter.

Although I was a bit annoyed by the spoilers in the trailer for tomorrow nights conclusion.

Last week there were a couple of new dramas and they were equally rubbish.

I thought 'Mayday' had a great ending - would have been much better over two nights than spread over a whole week.
Great ending though, very clever.

Spiral has to be one of the most over-acted crime dramas in years.

OK OK nobody does scenery like Scotland does but the characters were devoid of personality.

I gave up with Mayday too. Did manage to watch the Stonehenge programme tonight though, fascinating stuff and must do a ride over that way again.

Spiral has action, no chance of being bored. 😉

I gave up with Mayday too.

The most annoying thing was the supposed 16 year old obviously played by a 20 odd year old.
Just watch the last episode on iPlayer - the other episodes were largely irrelevant to the conclusion, tbh.

Karine Polwart tweeted about it. She wasn't impressed by the fact that the Shetlands seemed to be inhabited entirely by Glaswegians... 😀
Thought it was OK, glad it's only a two-parter, otherwise I would have got bored. Shame Hattie got offed, she was lovely.

Mayday was filmed in Dorking apparently...

Obviously not the bit I visited for work. That wasn't as nice.

I thought it was ok - some of the acting was a bit wooden but decent storyline. Agree that the trailer wasn't required!
