A promising story-line that got more annoying as the six episodes unfolded. I found the niece Nancy to be especially annoying and wasn't too sure the constant use of the F-word was something you really heard during that time period. The mystery is a little too drawn out and the fact that you are never shown the villain's face sort of telegraphs that it's one of the characters you've already met, so not that big a surprise. As in some outlandish plots, the whole thing could have been wrapped up if only some characters hadn't lied to or misled the police. Plus, the "Yankee" character was added for, what reason? An interesting look at Ireland in that day and the profession of photographing the dead, but all in all not that engrossing.
