So much was made of the story being set in the Isle of Man that I cannot understand why it was not shot there. It was obvious from the first scene that it was not the IOM (it was actually Howth Penninsula, Ireland and the Isle of Wight) and name dropping Peel, Kirk Michael, the Fairy Bridge (which it wasn't) and dropping in a Manx cat was a poor attempt at validation.
The scenery was definitely not comparable to the beauty of the IOM.
The drama itself was awful. The premise was preposterous and Suranne Jones was the same as she always is, Suranne Jones. She seems to have graduated from the "Always the Same" school of acting. Some of her emotional scenes were just embarrassing.
As ever with contemporary dramas, the tick list of inclusion/diversity and political correctness was full.
