James Nesbitt stars in this crime oriented supernatural drama. Let me preface this review with point that It is hard for me to fully explain the successes of this TV show, since usually I do not write reviews for TV shows (I just felt this was worth one). Now let's get straight into it.
The cast's performance is astonishing; James Nesbitt creates one of the most believable characters in recent history... whilst wearing a magic bracelet? That may sound oxymoronic, but what this show does so impressively is incorporate the supernatural with, an impressive on its own, crime drama. Nesbitt's performance makes the supernatural utterly believable, even more so his reaction to it. It would be easy to write about every member of the cast, but my personal favourites are Nesbitt Karan. Karan always delivers in her roles and this is no exception. Her character's relationship with Hagan (Nesbitt's character) really highlights the realities of working with a friend in the criminal justice system whilst providing us with a solid friendship that the viewer is always rooting for.
The writing itself is so maturely done, in ways that much of TV fails to do. As stated earlier, the supernatural is implemented impeccably. And although the premise may seem far-fetched it is done in a way where you never think "yeah, well that would never happen in real life", as the rest of the show and the characters truly immerse you deeply.
The show is consistent, enjoyable and emotional. I highly recommend this to anyone and believe, well certainly hope, that this will continue for many seasons to come.
