Review

David Brown

Siobhan Finneran plays DI Liz Nyles, a female detective who is having an ill-advised fling with a married male colleague while also caring for a father with dementia. In Nyles’s role as a police officer, she needs to keep a family safely guarded in a witness protection scheme before a high-profile trial. However, to her surprise (if not the viewer’s, as you’ll be a couple of paces ahead of the plot), this safe house turns out to be anything but. And when it all kicks off, we soon start to detect a whiff of conspiracy along with cordite in the atmosphere.
