A half decent series (based on Harlan Coben's books of the same name) consisting of 8 episodes which i binge-watched over two nights. Stars James Nesbitt and Jo Joyner as detectives (ex man and wife, too) investigating a disappearance. The series is filmed in the North West of England and also stars Sarah Parish, Cush Jumbo and Eddie Izzard. Well worth the watch, imho.

Question Author

Read this morning that some viewers from the North West gave up after a few episodes because of the geographical errors. The programme, they complained, made it appear that all the locations were adjacent to one another. The book was set in Atlantic City and i believe the production team did a good job of transferring the action to little old England. I had no problem whatsoever with the routes they took to get from A to B. Those who gave up missed a decent series, imho.

Can you tell me where the seaside location is with the big wheel? I don't know anything about that area.

They did indeed, Ken. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Some great performances. Forgot Eddie Izzard was Eddie Izzard! Loved his character.
I also read why some turned off. What a silly and precious reason for not continuing to watch.

Lots of filming around where we live. Usually representing other places. Just nice to see them on film regardless.

Thanks Squad. I thought it might be. Never been there.

I sort of understand what the disgruntled viewers mean. I found it a little distracting but purely because I know the majority of the places very well.
However, I thought it was an excellent series; well-acted with a believable script and a couple of excellent twists right at the end.
I certainly wouldn't have let the issue of the locations put me off watching.
The main seaside locations were Blackpool and Morecambe; the police-station was the new one in Blackpool; the safe-house was in Silverdale/Arnside; the Viper Club was in Cheshire; the 'head' is in St. Helens.

Another question? Who was the didn't actor who played the photographer?

Spoiler alert!
The bodies were dumped in the hole from above but when the police went down they had to walk along a passage before they got to the bodies.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, thanks to reading about it here, think we’d have missed out otherwise.
We watched the last three episodes back to back two nights ago, couldn’t go to bed without knowing how it ended.
Thanks Ken, for bringing it to my attention.
