Where to find it: BBC iPlayer (season one not currently available)
Length: 8 one-hour episodes
Synopsis: Darkly comic Scottish thriller about two brothers who commit a crime and try to cover it up
Recommendation rating: 3/5
What I like about it: really strong pilot, good brother dynamic, stylish and well-made
What I don’t like about it: loses its way quickly, the second season is awful and loses a whole recommendation point, hacky writing
Review:
This BBC Scotland drama commission started out really exciting but soon spiralled into a scale too large to care about, they try to pack about four seasons of Breaking Bad-style escalations into four episodes and then season 2 is a boring, bog-standard dark BBC crime drama. It’s a shame because the pilot was wonderful but never gets as good again.
