Featured review
Doctor in distress.
The death of a security guard, who's dead during an armed robbery back in 1974 seems to be the reason for a present day killing. The body of a man is found in the woods, it's believed to be that of Doctor Seth Hazlitt.
Series ten really has entered into a purple patch, this is yet another very good, quality episode. It's another very well written episode, with some interesting characters, at this point the show feels somewhat invigorated.
It's always good to see a home town killing, even better when one of the regulars is involved, better again when it's Seth. The stranger in town element added a good deal of interest, and guessing the identity of the killer wasn't straightforward.
It's not often the show took us on a journey to the past, it really did work, that opening sequence felt very different.
Ben Masters does a fine job here, the supporting cast are very good.
8/10.
