  • The best thing about British crime drama is how miserable you get to feel afterwards

  • Another effective showcase for David Tennant to show his darker side aside, this was notable for an appearance from Maureen Beattie as his mother, the former Casualty star and Equity president all too rarely seen on our TV's these days.

  • deadwater fell just gave us the perfect look at the reality of most domestic abuse victims nowadays, which doesn’t need any mysterious or tricky conclusions. during the first few episodes most viewers can naturally begin doubting the real victim of the story and these series perfectly show the consequences of that. david’s abusive husband role is incredibly well-acted, and i’m glad he still manages to pull off such creepy and deep characters.
