EPISODES 1.01-1.08 Imagine, if you will, Broadchurch as penned by MR James. Or maybe Randall And Hopkirk (Deceased) redone as a bleak Scandi-noir drama.
This supernatural crime thriller opens with 19-year-old Neve Kelly (a brilliant Clara Rugaard) floating in a lake. After pulling herself out she walks home, only to discover that her mum, frantic with worry about her daughter’s whereabouts, can’t see her. Neve is dead, you see, and it soon transpires that she was murdered. Only her last hours are a blur. She can’t remember how she died, where, or who killed her.
